There are twelve letters in the book. Each letter is about what the young people are or should be concerned about, such as reading, self-cultivation, composition, social movement, love, philosophy, and so on. From Mr. Zhu Guangqian's writing, it flows like the elder's persuasion, like the sincere conversation of old friends. It is kind and natural to read, and benefits a lot. Although the author expresses his opinions on each topic and looks at the whole, there seems to be a consistent starting point to be found, that is, to persuade young people to have a deep vision, to work hard fundamentally, to take care of themselves, and not to follow the secular interests.

Gothic television is the first full length study of the Gothic released on British and US television. An historical account, the book combines detailed archival research with analyses of key programmes, from Mystery and Imagination and Dark Shadows, to The Woman in White and Twin Peaks, and uncovers an aspect of television drama history which has, until now, remained critically unexplored. While some have seen television as too literal or homely a medium to successfully present Gothic fictions, Gothic television argues that the genre, in its many guises, is, and has always been, well-suited to television as a domestic medium, given the genre's obsessions with haunted houses and troubled families. This book will be of interest to lecturers and students across a number of disciplines including television studies, Gothic studies, and adaptation studies, as well as to the general reader with an interest in the Gothic, and in the history of television drama.

Nordic Gothic traces Gothic fiction in the Nordic region from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, with a main focus on the development of Gothic from the 1990s onwards in literature, film, TV and new media. The volume gives an overview of Nordic Gothic fiction in relation to transnational developments and provides a number of case studies and in-depth analyses of individual narratives. It creates an understanding of this under-researched cultural phenomenon by showing how the narratives make visible cultural anxieties haunting the Nordic countries, their welfare systems, identities and ideologies. Nordic Gothic examines how figures from Nordic folklore function as metaphorical expressions of Gothic themes and Nordic settings are explored from perspectives such as ecocriticism and postcolonialism. The book will be of interest to researchers and post- and- undergraduate students in various fields within the Humanities.

Suicide and the Gothic is the first protracted study of how the act of self-destruction recurs and functions within one of the most enduring and popular forms of fiction. Comprising eleven original essays and an authoritative introduction, this collection explores how the act of suicide has been portrayed, interrogated and pathologised from the eighteenth century to the present. The featured fictions embrace both canonical and the less-studied texts and examine the crisis of suicide - a crisis that has personal, familial, religious, legal and medical implications - in European, American and Asian contexts. Featuring detailed interventions into the understanding of texts as temporally distant as Thomas Percy's Reliques and Patricia Highsmith's crime fictions, and movements as diverse as Wertherism, Romanticism and fin-de-siècle decadence, Suicide and the Gothic provides a comprehensive and compelling overview of this recurrent crisis in fiction and culture.

This book embodies 20 letters professor Yuan Longping wrote to his student Dr. Mao Changxiang in the 1980s and 1990s. Professor Yuan Longping, internationally known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”, had developed the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s and helped alleviate famine and poverty around the world. In the late 20th century, when the communication means were not yet developed enough, professor Yuan wrote a lot of letters to Dr. Mao Changxiang, the researcher of Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center at that time, to discuss about the development of hybrid rice research. These letters were written in Chinese or English, most of which are originals and have not been published before and therefore are very valuable documents in the history of hybrid rice research.
