Based on a popular legend from the Tai Hu Lake area in southern China, this book tells the story of a carver named A Liang who sought five-colored stones and then carefully engraved them.
Faced with the greed and brutality of the powerful, he chose to sacrifice his life to protect the treasures for the benefit of the people of Tai Hu Lake.
The book also talks about Nüwa, the deity who, according to the Chinese, created humanity. Another character is Dayu, who, according to legend, in ancient times when the central plains often flooded, learned from the failures of his predecessors and managed to control the waters by diverting them through channels that eventually flowed into the sea.
Nüwa and Dayu are very famous mythological figures in China, so they must be remembered!
