]]> 57846996 This “powerful and disturbing” (Bill Browder, author of Red Notice) New York Times bestseller is narrated by a man who, with his wife, Whitney Duan, rose to the top levels of power and wealth—and then fell out of favor. Whitney had been disappeared four years before, but this book led to her dramatic reemergence.

As Desmond Shum was growing up impoverished in China, he vowed his life would be different. Through hard work and sheer tenacity he earned an American college degree and returned to his native country to establish himself in business. There, he met his future wife, the highly intelligent and equally ambitious Whitney Duan who was determined to make her mark within China’s male-dominated society. Whitney and Desmond formed an effective team and, aided by relationships they formed with top members of China’s Communist Party, the so-called red aristocracy, he vaulted into China’s billionaire class. Soon they were developing the massive air cargo facility at Beijing International Airport, and they followed that feat with the creation of one of Beijing’s premier hotels. They were dazzlingly successful, traveling in private jets, funding multi-million-dollar buildings and endowments, and purchasing expensive homes, vehicles, and art.

But in 2017, their fates diverged irrevocably when Desmond, while residing overseas with his son, learned that his now ex-wife Whitney had vanished along with three coworkers.]]> Desmond Shum 1398510394 Zao 4 3.82 2021

金庸先生的作品总是映照时代，用精彩的故事去启发人们对现实的思考。六神磊磊将金庸先生的作品进行细致入微地解读和剖析，带我们去读金庸，引导着我们去思考：为什么东方不败不杀任盈盈？曼陀山庄的茶花怎么总是养不活？少林寺的《易筋经》为啥非要传给令狐冲？在金庸的作品中，我们看到无论是大英雄还是小人物，他们所经历的烦恼和困惑其实和我们是一样的，而磊磊的解读仿若一面镜子，能让我们反省和觉察，也在提醒着我们：在这个聒噪的世界中，保持一份善良和清醒，是每个现代人应该具备的品质。

本书的内文插图，选用的是华人漫画家李志清先生为金庸小说创作的插画作品，传神再现“飞雪连天射白鹿，笑书神侠倚碧鸳”故事中的人物。闭闭> 457 六神磊磊 7533964829 Zao 4 4.50

喜欢刘瑜文字的人，在本书中仍然可以找到惊喜，她是幽默的：“所谓民主，就是选一个人上去挨骂。”她还是犀利的：“别说什么‘关了灯都一样’，21世纪了，为什么总要关着灯呢。”书中内容，包括、国际时政、政治书评影评以及一些个体化思考的杂论，更为多样化，阅读上带有跳跃感，但并不会有断裂之感，相反，用刘瑜自己的话说：“我相信这些文章集结在一起所传递的信息，相比它们零散的存在，其重量和清晰度是不一样的，而这些信息在今天的中国值得被反复和清晰地传递。”

一个更好的社会，更好的制度的降临并不是“自动”的，观念的变化是必要环节，而本书最终要达到的目的，就是“将过于霸道的声音拧小，将被屏蔽的声音放大，将司空见惯的思维方式打上一个问号，将盒子里的光释放”，“告诉他人他们不知道自己知道的观念”。闭闭> 280 刘瑜 Zao 4 4.25

Yu articulate basic democratic concepts and ideas in an easily comprehensible way, and thus, this book should be considered to be of great value. I don't think it would make it, if this book were to be published nowadays in mainland China, because of the increasingly intensifying and rampant censorship and authoritarianism. So, it's lucky we can still read such a book, have a view of the merit perspectives, and open up our minds.

The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined -- every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.]]> 541 Suzanne Collins Zao 0 to-read 3.99 2020

]]> 7260188 My name is Katniss Everdeen.
Why am I not dead?
I should be dead.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans—except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay—no matter what the personal cost.]]> 390 Suzanne Collins 0439023513 Zao 0 to-read 4.10 2010

]]> 6148028 Sparks are igniting.
Flames are spreading.
And the Capitol wants revenge.

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol—a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest that she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

In Catching Fire, the second novel of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before . . . and surprising readers at every turn.]]> 391 Suzanne Collins 0439023491 Zao 0 to-read 4.34 2009

Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun. . . .

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.]]> 374 Suzanne Collins Zao 0 currently-reading 4.34 2008
