Basic Structures of Reality

Tripitaka and his three disciples, Monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy, were chosen to undertake a pilgrimage to India, during which they came across all sorts of dangers and difficulties. This time, the Flaming Mountain blocked their way, and they needed a little help from the Princess Iron Fan and Bull Demon, well, parents of the Red Boy, who wanted to eat up Tripitaka and was just defeated by Monkey. Things never go smooth for them! My Favourite Chinese Stories is a collection of three Chinese stories specially selected and retold in English for young readers.

They are widely known to the Chinese people, and reflect, in varying degrees, some of the essential characteristics of Chinese culture. Each story is accompanied by beautiful full-colour illustrations drawn by Lo King-man as well as audio narration by the author Pamela Youde.

Gods and Goddesses are not always perfect, what did Chang E do to have herself ending up alone on the moon? And do you know that Yi the Great Archer did more than just shooting down nine suns?

The ultimate goal of this thesis is to construct an optimal global portfolio with ETFs. We choose the iShares MSCI country index ETFs as our assets. We start with the calculation of correlation between these countries. We find out that there is potential benefit undertaking international diversification. While comparing with the former research, the potential benefit is smaller. We examine the effect of investing internationally of each country. And we can see that not all countries are benefit from international diversification. While considering international diversification, investors have to look at the characteristic of the domestic country to make decision. In the international level, we can see that the investment risk would decrease and the return would increase. And the marginal effect decreases. In our test, the return, risk and efficiency come stable after adding the 14th asset into the global portfolio. Therefore we construct our global portfolio with 13 assets. We can see

Traversing from the rapidly urbanising county-level city of Fuqing to the remote mountainous kingdom of Lesotho in Southern Africa, Searching for Sweetness is one of the first and most extensive ethnographies linking rural-to-urban migration in China with Chinese migration to Africa. Against the backdrop of China’s national struggle for modernity and globalisation, Sarah Hanisch examines Chinese migrant women’s complex and ever-shifting struggles for upward social mobility across different generations and localities in China and Lesotho. Embedding the women’s individual portraits into larger historical contexts, Hanisch illustrates how these women interpret and narrate their migratory and everyday experiences through and beyond powerful state metanarratives on ‘sweetness’ and ‘bitterness’. In her exploration of migratory identities and projects that have been overlooked by previous studies, Hanisch brings uniquely gendered, multi-sited, and intergenerational perspectives to existing sc

More Than 1001 Days and Nights of Hong Kong Internment is the wartime journal of Sir Chaloner Grenville Alabaster, former attorney-general of Hong Kong and one of the three highest-ranking British officials during the Japanese occupation. He was imprisoned by the Japanese at the Stanley Internment Camp from 1941 to 1945. During his internment, he managed to keep a diary of his life in the camp in small notebooks and hid them until his release in 1945. He then wrote his wartime journal on the basis of these notes. The journal records his day-to-day experiences of the fall of Hong Kong, his time at Stanley, and his eventual release. Some of the most fascinating extracts cover the three months immediately after the fall of Hong Kong and when Alabaster and his colleagues were imprisoned in Prince’s Building in Central and before they were sent to the camp, a period little covered in previous publications. Hence, the book is an important primary source for understanding the daily operation

The Many Faces of Ruan Dacheng: Poet, Playwright, Politician in Seventeenth-Century China is the first monograph in English on a controversial Ming dynasty literary figure. It examines and reassesses the life and work of Ruan Dacheng (1587–1646), a poet, dramatist, and politician in the late Ming period. Ruan Dacheng was in his own time a highly regarded poet, but is best known as a dramatist, and his poetry is now largely unknown. He is most notorious as a ‘treacherous official’ of the Ming–Qing transition, and as a result his literary work—his plays as well as his poetry—has been neglected and undervalued. Hardie argues that Ruan’s literary work is of much greater significance in the history of Chinese literature than has generally been recognised since his own time. Ruan, rather than being a transgressive figure, is actually a very typical late Ming literatus, and as such his attitudes towards identity and authenticity can add to our understanding of these issues in late Ming intell

Hong Kong’s Link to the US Dollar covers the origins of the city’s currency crisis in 1983, the initial resolution of the crisis by creation of a traditional currency board, the subsequent problems leading to the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98, and the later reforms. A new final chapter traces monetary developments in Hong Kong between 2005 and 2020. This valuable compendium of articles, originally written in the bimonthly journal Asian Monetary Monitor between 1981 and 1989, includes the key article that formed the basis for the Hong Kong government’s decision in 1983 to peg the currency to the US dollar, as well as other important documents of historical record. The main contribution of the book is its detailed monetary analysis of Hong Kong’s unique financial system before and after the currency crisis of 1983. The book explains the collapse of the floating Hong Kong dollar under the pressure of capital outflows during the Sino-British negotiations (1982–84) over the future of

活躍於西元一世紀的占星師都勒斯（Dorotheus of Sidon）所著作的《占星詩集》（Carmen Astrologicum）對後世的波斯、阿拉伯及拉丁占星學扮演十分關鍵的角色，成為之後的本命、擇時與卜卦占星等文獻——例如《亞里士多德之書》（Book of Aristotle）、里賈爾（al-Rijāl）《行星判斷技法》以及薩爾·賓·畢雪（Salh b.Bishr）的著作等——的基礎。本書曾在西元三世紀翻譯成波斯文，並由後來的占星名家烏瑪·塔巴里（Umar al-Tabarī）翻譯為阿拉伯文。 這本英文的版本則由塔巴里版本翻譯而來，內容涵蓋許多都勒斯著作中重要的特色，例如星盤的日期校正、三分性主星的應用、過運、小限法、赤經上升時間及其它。書中還有許多的附註、圖表以及希臘文獻《摘錄》（Excerpts）（由埃杜阿爾多·格拉馬格利亞[Eduardo Gramaglia]所翻譯），超越了1976年由學者賓格瑞（Pingree）所翻譯的版本，是古典占星的學習者必備的基礎著作，値得一再研究品味。

＊真正為人、為地球生態的綠色經濟＋心靈環保最終提案 經濟學不是一項精確的科學。事實上它是——或者應該是——更大的：它是智慧的一項分支。 ——經濟學的最後一位先知、最有遠見的「異端」經濟學家 舒馬克（E. F. Schumacher） 「沒有佛教的經濟學，也就是沒有靈性、人，與生態價值的經濟學，就像是沒有愛的性一樣。」——舒馬克 羅賓斯爵士（Lionel Robbins）說：「經濟學是一門研究人類在有限的資源情況下作出選擇的科學。」每個人在此世間的種種資源都是有限的，因此如何在種種限制下達成人生的「目標」，的確是最重要的生命課題。傳統經濟學主要關注的是「實體」資源，而各個靈性傳承所關注的則偏重非實體資源，如心力、壽命等。 今日資本主義經濟下的市場已遍及世界的每一個角落，透過市場，我們交易著一切有形與無形的事物，看似過著豐富的物質生活，然而人們的內心卻是疏離與不安的。加上我們這個世代面臨各種經濟、社會與環境的危機，尋求新的可永續（sustainable）經濟學以取代資本主義經濟，已變得刻不容緩。 經濟學作為社會科學中的顯學，正一步一步地把人類社會帶向死胡同。作者在因緣際會下，接觸了綠色經濟學，這是不同於主流經濟學的經濟思想，同時首次認識了舒馬克（E. F. Schumacher）的佛教經濟學。 「佛教經濟學」是舒馬克在1960年代所提出的。但其實他所提倡的，是以靈性為基礎、以人為本的經濟學。舒馬克認為，科學與科技必須有智慧作為依歸，「永續的經濟學」（economics of permanence）才是有可能的。 佛教怎麼會和經濟學有關呢？舒馬克在〈佛教經濟學〉一文開宗明義即說：「『正命』是佛陀所倡導的八正道之一，因此很清楚地，是必然有佛教經濟學這種東西的。」「正命」是指從事正當的職業，尤其是指不會傷害眾生（包括自己）的職業。八正道（正見、正思維、正語、正業、正命、正精進、正念、正定）是人們邁向解脫必經之途，因此是「必要之善」。 「正命」是佛教經濟學的核心，而付之實踐，則有賴佛教的另一原則——「中道」。佛教認為，問題的重點並不在於物質生活的本身，而是我們面對它的態度。佛陀告誡我們的，不是外在的摒棄物質，而是內在的不執著。因此本書從佛法的觀點，以個體經濟學為架構，依序探討傳統個體經濟學架構中的各項議題。本書推展舒馬克的〈佛教經濟學〉的理念，把

"The fact that Snow did not sneak into “red China” to gather information constituting the basis of his Red Start over China all alone is in many instances misunderstood even by scholars. Mao Zedong’s biography has been the subject of an international mountain of commentary in China and elsewhere. Biographies praising Mao and those slandering him are all based on the American journalist Edgar Snow’s (1905–1972) account in Red Star over China for the route Mao traveled from early childhood through his youth. How the “Red Star” Rose introduces the image of Mao and the biographical information made known to the world through the publication of Red Star, and with its publication the circumstances which they fundamentally undermined. Ishikawa Yoshihiro uses Mao Zedong as raw material to examine from whence and how ordinary historical information and images which we habitually use unconsciously come into being. He desires to help readers to reconsider the historicity of the generation of no

Mementoes of HMS Tamar abound in Hong Kong, but what is really known about this troopship and her role in the maintenance of British imperial rule? Using logbooks, newspapers, and numerous other sources, this book pieces together the multifaceted and largely unknown history of the Tamar . From her launch into service to her roles as a hospital, theatre stage, and transport for military personnel, the Tamar carried not just people, but also their mundane dreams and ambitions— for friends, families, and staying alive. Any ideas or concerns about sustaining the empire seldom featured in their minds at all, but it was this empire that the Tamar served for seventy-nine years, steaming the equivalent of thirty-two times around the Earth and transporting tens of thousands of people to what would seem to them another world. In this engaging narrative, the Tamar’s exploits and the experiences of her crew and passengers parallel those of the British Empire and its subjects, bringing to life t

In describing the true stories of clinical experiences of healing the body and mind by practicing TCM, it becomes clear to the author that we all possess innate healing power within.

English novelist E.M. Forster wrote his last and best-loved work, A Passage to India, both as a paean to his love for India and as a tribute to the relationships he formed with Indians. Forster became entranced by the India of the Raj at a young age, and his love affair with the sub-continent, its princes, and peoples, was to last all his life. At his most socially transgressive, it was with Indians that Forster chose to connect and with whom he put into effect his belief in man’s duty to value friendship over state or ideology. His time in India was undoubtedly when he was at his most human and most vulnerable. At once a contemporary reflection on India’s rich history and a biographical retelling of Forster’s travels through the country in the early 1900s, Developing the Heart delves into the past to better understand the profound impact certain events and people had on his writing. In doing so, it allows readers to look on as Forster matures and softens over time in his behaviour

In The Making of Chinese-Sinophone Literatures as World Literature, Kuei-fen Chiu and Yingjin Zhang aim to bridge the distance between the scholarship of world literature and that of Chinese and Sinophone literary studies. This edited volume advances research on world literature by bringing in new developments in Chinese/Sinophone literatures and adds a much-needed new global perspective on Chinese literary studies beyond the traditional national literature paradigm and its recent critique by Sinophone studies. In addition to a critical mapping of the domains of world literature, Sinophone literature, and world literature in Chinese to delineate the nuanced differences of these three disciplines, the book addresses the issues of translation, genre, and the impact of media and technology on our understanding of “literature” and “literary prestige.” It also provides critical studies of the complicated ways in which Chinese and Sinophone literatures are translated, received, and reinveste

English abstract Panic disorder is one of the neuroses. Neurosis is the most popular mental disease and the representative of mild mental illness. Foreign research reports reveal that the lifetime prevalence rate of neurosis is about between 20%-50%, but few people accepted clinical treatment. Neuroses (panic, depression, and so on) and cardiac disorder will be the nightmare of causing serious diseases of human life in 2020. Panic disorder (attack) is a quickly and suddenly strong anxiety symptom and like a psychologic disease surrounded by dark and terrible emotion and hard to eliminate it. But by appropriate treatment, panic attack will be eased. Medicine treatment is the most efficient and simplest way for a definite diagnosis panic patient in practice. But due to political issues between China and Taiwan, Taiwan’s poor economy seems getting worse and worse and the health insurance medicine price of Central Health Insurance Bureau is also getting lower and lower. It is increasingly

In New Asian Disorder: Rivalries Embroiling the Pacific Century, Lowell Dittmer and his team explore the recent political disorder in East Asia resulting from growing Sino-American polarization. The rise of China in recent years is widely regarded as a momentous shift in the global balance of power. China is now extending sovereignty into the East China Sea and the South China Sea, constructing a new set of global financial institutions and replacing “universal values” with technologically enhanced nationalism. The country’s “Belt and Road Initiative” is also tainted by the vast ambition to realize the “China Dream” within the foreseeable future. In response to China’s challenge, the United States has abandoned its “constructive engagement” policy towards the rising power and engaged in a trade war. Sino-American relations have been at a historical trough since the normalization of their relationship in the late 1970s. This book sheds new light on the current political disorder in the

What does it mean to be queer in a Confucian society in which kinship roles, ties, and ideologies are of such great importance? This book makes sense of queer cultures in China—a country with one of the largest queer populations in the world—and offers an alternative to Euro-American blueprints of queer individual identity. This book contends that kinship relations must be understood as central to any expression of queer selfhood and culture in contemporary cultural production in China. Using a critical approach—“queering Chinese kinship”—Lin Song scrutinizes the relationship between queerness and family relations, and questions Eurocentric queer culture’s frequent assumption of the separation of queerness from blood family. Offering five case studies of queer representations across a range of media genres, this book also challenges the tendency in current scholarship on Chinese and East Asian queerness to understand queer cultures as predominantly counter-mainstream, marginal, and un

The crisis of masculinity surfaced and converged with the crisis of the nation in the late Qing, after the doors of China were forced open by Opium Wars. The power of physical aggression increasingly overshadowed literary attainments and became a new imperative of male honor in the late Qing and early Republican China. Afflicted with anxiety and indignation about their increasingly effeminate image as perceived by Western colonial powers, Chinese intellectuals strategically distanced themselves from the old literati and reassessed their positions vis-à-vis violence. In Mastery of Words and Swords: Negotiating Intellectual Masculinities in Modern China, 1890s–1930s, Jun Lei explores the formation and evolution of modern Chinese intellectual masculinities as constituted in racial, gender, and class discourses mediated by the West and Japan. This book brings to light a new area of interest in the “Man Question” within gender studies in which women have typically been the focus. To fully r

Hong Kong under British rule was a prime example of exceptionalism in many aspects — economic, political, and even social. It was governed under a colonial structure and yet had enjoyed a large degree of social and economic freedom, as well as fiscal self-sufficiency and autonomy from London. After returning to Chinese rule in 1997, Hong Kong has continued to thrive as a relatively resilient city-state still known for efficiency and effectiveness despite tensions and scepticism about its political future. This book carries decades of academic observations and the author’s personal political experience. It reviews and reflects on the past trajectory of governance and administration, identifying strengths and capabilities as well as constraints and vulnerabilities of Hong Kong as a polity and society, while charting its course of ‘exceptionalism’ within a new context and under changing conditions. As this book concludes, the exceptionalism of Hong Kong not only hinges on institutional a

The purpose of this book is to explain both the historical context and current practices of land administration in Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong has an open and business-friendly environment, it is underpinned by a socialist leasehold land tenure system. The government is landlord to virtually all land and so it plays a pivotal role in the administration of this scarce, and therefore, valuable resource.As land administration is governed by private contract law rather than legislation, it is constantly evolving with the courts handing down significant decisions on a regular basis. Government practice has to respond to this, as well as the community’s concern on how best land can be administered. The fifth edition has some substantial and important updates which should continue to be useful to both students and practitioners of surveying, architecture, planning and law, as well as the wider business and financial community.
