When the skies break and floodwaters cover the land, one man rises to meet the challenge. This is the inspiring story of Yu, who dedicates his life to taming the great floods, not by fighting nature, but by listening to it. Through thirteen years of hardship, sacrifice, and perseverance, Yu transforms disaster into harmony, laying the foundation for China's first dynasty.
Written in clear English and Simplified Chinese, this bilingual edition is perfect for adult learners of Chinese language and culture, bringing one of China's most beloved mythological heroes to life in an accessible and engaging way.
The story is told using only 700 different Chinese words, most of which are in the HSK3 vocabulary. It includes pinyin, an English translation, and glossary of all words used.
A free audiobook is available on YouTube, on the Imagin8 Press channel.
