Classical Chinese Stories for young adults. Mee-ing is a daughter in a family that values sons, a girl in a culture that values boys, and young in a village that respects the old. Sentenced to the role of servant and caretaker, her imagination takes wings when she listens to her mother's stories. By day Mee-ing, her widowed mother, and her brother and sister struggle to survive in the jungle village that is their home. At night ghosts, lost children, unhappy brides and brave maidens populate the stories the mother tells to drive away the frightening sounds of the jungle that laps at the foot of the family's hut. The stories all teach lessons that young and old may learn from.
