Hunger and hardship followed them wherever they went. They tried to grow food once, but whenever the seeds were sown, winter came and all the seedlings became frozen.  One day, while passing by the Yellow River, the boy's white horse suddenly got free of the reins and plunged into the river. After a while, the horse sprang out of the water with a drawing on its back.  Everyone wondered what the drawing meant, but only the boy was clever enough to figure it out and explained to his family: "This drawing shows the cycle of the changing seasons. The horse wants to help us grow grains to make food. Why don't we do what is on this drawing and sow seeds in the spring, water them in the summer, and harvest in the autumn. In the winter, we need to let the earth rest."]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1064733</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1064733</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_PAUDIO]]></category><category><![CDATA[mul]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Li, Jian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1064733221</comments><format>BOOK_PAUDIO</format><subtitle>Bai Ma Yu Shen Tu : A Story In English And Chinese</subtitle><language>mul</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781954635470/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ming's Kung Fu Adventure In The Shaolin Temple]]></title><description><![CDATA[After Xiao Ming participates in a martial arts exercise at school, his parents take him on a trip to the Shaolin Temple-the birth-place of kung fu-in the central Henan Province of China.

Ming and his father are in China's Qufu, Shandong Province, where the great sage Confucius was born over 2,500 years ago. While Ming's father studies the stunning historic architecture, Ming's attention is drawn to a game of Chinese checkers set up in a gazebo. As soon as he touches the checkers, he finds himself magically transported back in time to ancient Qufu. There he meets Confucius and his students, and explores with them the principles established by the renowned teacher, which remain so important in China today.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1064700</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1064700</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_PAUDIO]]></category><category><![CDATA[mul]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Li, Jian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1064700221</comments><format>BOOK_PAUDIO</format><subtitle>A Story In English And Chinese = Qufu Kong Miao, Kong Fu He Kong Lin</subtitle><language>mul</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781954635043/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ming's Adventure In The Mogao Caves]]></title><description><![CDATA[The sandstorm was blowing hard over the Gobi Desert. Xiao Ming got separated from his parents on their way to the Mogao Caves. As it was getting dark Xiao Ming, along with the other travelers who were separated from the group, were huddling in the sand helplessly.  In the darkness of the Gobi Desert, Xiao Ming vaguely saw a little light flashing in the dust. The light got closer and closer and, finally, he saw a deer with nine shades of color in his fur. His antlers were as white as snow and his body was wrapped with a touch of bright light. The nine-colored deer told Xiao Ming to follow him.

This book is illustrated based on the original ballad, which depicts her bravery through Chinese ink paintings.  A long time ago in China, there lived a young girl named Mulan. Her father was a retired general who taught her many skills girls weren't normally allowed to learn, like martial arts, archery, sword play and how to ride a horse.  One day, soldiers came to Mulan's village. They told everyone China was in danger, and that a man from each family must join the army and fight. Mulan was terribly upset. Her father was too old, but was honor-bound to fight. If only she had been born a boy! That night, Mulan came up with a plan to save the honor of her family and her father's life.  Early the next morning, disguised as a boy, Mulan took a horse and her father's armor before leaving to join the army. No one recognized her, and Mulan was very careful to never let anyone know she was really a girl. Mulan's bravery, courage and the skills she learned from her father helped her to succeed. Over twelve years, Mulan fought against the threat to China before finally helping to win the war. When she was offered a reward from the emperor for her incredible courage, Mulan instead asked for a horse so she could return home to her family.  Mulan's family was so happy to see her! And there, for the first time in twelve years, Mulan exchanged her armor for a dress, fixed her hair into an elegant girl's hairstyle and joined her family, a beautiful young woman once again.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1064705</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1064705</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_PAUDIO]]></category><category><![CDATA[mul]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Li, Jian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1064705221</comments><format>BOOK_PAUDIO</format><subtitle>Hua Mulan : A Story In English And Chinese</subtitle><language>mul</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781954635104/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Water Dragon]]></title><description><![CDATA[This fancifully illustrated multicultural children's book tells a famous Chinese myth about a young boy's quest to save his village.

One day, the boy made a wondrous discovery: a magic stone that caused his money jar and rice crocks to overflow, both of which he shared with the poor villagers. But strange things began to happen. It no longer rained. The crops died. The rivers dried up. A terrible drought had struck and would not release its grip.

On his way home one day, he found an injured sheep, rescued it and brought it home where he nursed the sheep back to life.   One evening, after the sheep had been living with the physician for some time, a beast barged into the village, demanding payment of each household in the form of one child.

Zheng He, the Great Chinese Explorer is a bilingual (English and Chinese) tale of his adventures.  When he was a child, Zheng He dreamed of foreign lands, his imagination was inspired by the travels of his father and grandfather and the wonderful items they brought back from trading trips to the West. A simple but exotic porcelain vase in cobalt, a color not found in China at the time, drove Zheng He to discover the origins of this unique color-and become one of the most famous explorers in China's history.]]></description><link>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1064760</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S221C1064760</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_PAUDIO]]></category><category><![CDATA[mul]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Li, Jian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://rhpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1064760221</comments><format>BOOK_PAUDIO</format><subtitle>Zheng He : A Bilingual Story Of Adventure And Discovery</subtitle><language>mul</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781954635487/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmhpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The White Rabbit from the moon]]></title><description><![CDATA["Once upon a time, the city of Beijing was experiencing a pandemic.
