Some clever stories by Bladeless Sword (无刃剑) Cold Month Desolation (冷月潇潇), Music Hall Owner (回乐堂堂主), Crazy Ancient Pride (古傲狂生), and the seemingly out-of-place Ma Changshan (马长山).
Good stories. Chinese text not available online, but book can be ordered online here (pay in Dollars but impossibly expensive) or here (pay in Yuan), or we will email you copies of individual stories for free. Edited by Ma Changshan (马长山) and Cheng Siliang (程思良).
Pages 1 and 2 were Fannyi's second experience with Chinese flash fiction. (The first is lost in the mists of time.) He likes those stories very much and finds the ones on pages 3 and 4 disappointing by comparison. These stories are great for practicing Chinese Reading skills.
Mediocre stories by Horizon Visitor 涯客. Great for language learning, short on entertainment value.
Very short stories by the next generation of flash fiction writers. Not the best literature, perhaps, but still some pretty clever stories. Great introduction to contemporary Chinese fiction for language students. Chinese text not available online, but book can be ordered here or here (both require payment in Yuan), or ask us to email you the individual stories you want to study.
Morally uplifting stories suitable for Reader's Digest.
