Nezha: A Story in Easy Chinese, Pinyin and English - Paperback

by Ting Gao (Author)

Before he became a god, Nezha was just a troublemaker.

Born from a glowing sphere after three and a half years in the womb, Nezha arrives in the world already armed with the Universe Ring and the Red Armillary Sash, destined for greatness and almost certain to cause chaos along the way.

From a legendary battle with the Dragon King of the East Sea to a heartbreaking sacrifice that reshapes his very existence, Nezha life is a journey of courage and transformation. Reborn through a lotus flower and armed with magical weapons, he rises to help overthrow a tyrannical dynasty and earn his place among the immortals, on his own terms.

This retelling of one of China's most beloved myths is specially crafted for Chinese language learners, and uses only 500 Chinese words. Drawn from the classic Ming Dynasty novel Fengshen Yanyi (Investiture of the Gods), the story is presented in Chinese, pinyin and English, with a comprehensive bilingual glossary.

Whether you're new to Chinese or building your reading fluency, Nezha's epic adventure is the perfect companion for your journey.
