Fate Volume

1. Read first by country or author, then pair pieces on the same theme, such as "Zhu Fu" with "Wu Zui de Nü Yong."
2. After each piece, note in one sentence its "turning point of fate"; review halfway through to see the editorial design.
3. For foreign pieces set in unfamiliar contexts, read the ending first, then return to the text to lower the barrier to understanding.
