Blood-Eating Grass

1. Read in table-of-contents order, pausing after each story to note the ethical question that matters most to you.
2. Don't fact-check medical details while reading; follow the characters' emotions first, then review the logic afterward.
3. Read "Hope Ascidian" alongside "The D. Moore Incident" to compare how each handles "hope" and "conspiracy."
4. If time is limited, start with "Winter Solstice Grass" and "The Moon in the Palm" to feel the book's cold and tender sides.

Representative books in the library include Lu Xun's Call to Arms, Lao She's Camel Xiangzi and Four Generations Under One Roof, editions related to Confucius's The Analects, and Chinese translations of foreign classics such as Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities. Its author resources include classic writers such as Lu Xun, Lao She, and Confucius, as well as translators and scholars such as Li Gang, Chen Puqing, and Zhang Ling. The publisher's characteristic approach is to organize editions around literary classics and celebrated Chinese and foreign works, while also including folk literature and Eastern philosophy titles. Public information is limited, so this introduction emphasizes the publishing directions reflected in the books held in the library.
