China Tales and Stories: GUAN YU: English Version
The Guan Yu story is from the Mead-Hill collection, China Tales and Stories.
Guan Yu is a great adventure, based on the life of one of the most beloved characters in Chinese history. By telling some of the life events of a real person, the story also presents some of China's exciting and interesting history.
Guan Yu's bold tale was told and retold so many times that he became more than a famous hero - he became almost an archetype. In that way, Guan Yu even became part of China thinking. (For more about that idea, please see Mead-Hill's, China Thinking - An Introduction.)
Guan Yu is published in multiple Mead-Hill editions. Each edition is illustrated by a different artist. Each artist uses a different style of Chinese illustration. Each illustrated set can be collected; the collections can be put together to build a special library of China tales and stories.
The Guan Yu story is available in multiple Mead-Hill versions.

About the Author: ILLUSTRATOR
Cheng Shibi currently lives in Hengyang, in Central China's Hunan Province.
A lifelong reader and teacher, Cheng Shibi is fascinated with Chinese calligraphy and Chinese ink painting. He enjoys doing both of these, especially because of what he calls their "mood-adjustment" properties!
In this book, Cheng Shibi offers something of an innovation on the traditional thickness-and-density-of-ink, and variation-on-brush-stroke system. By adding color to the already warm feelings they create, he renders an effect more universally understandable and more interesting for all.
