Most Chinese books are translated into different languages.so when you read a book(chinese) in other language,it always becames bad.
Some meanings in the artical you can not understand.The best things in the books you also can not understand.
So I advise you to read the real chinese books.
If you can not speak or read chinese,you have to learn it.
it is not difficult ,though i have learned it for many years.

I think who you described is Bei Liu,he is the king of Shu,and the red horse he rided is called Chi-tu in Chinese.
Bei Liu,Yu Guan and Fei Zhang become brothers after seeing in peach park.Before long,Liang Zhuge become Bei Liu's best associate.And then
they have the competentcy to make their country become one of the most strenghtening country in that three country said Wei,Wu and Shu.

This book is very good for everyone,not only in China but the world,it is
known by everyone in China.
If you are interested in reading it ,you will find it is really a good one.

I am sorry ,I don't know what you mean.
The person who died from the heart attack because of Zhugeliang is named Zhou Yu,but the first owner of the Chitu is called LvBu.

Which one do you like?
If you don't understand the book,you can watch the video.

Oh,I see.I have the same opinions with cloudy.Zhou Yu is the best assistant of Sun Quan in Wu,but that's a pity,he is only good at sea-war.He died of heart attack coz of Zhuge Liang.And Lv Bu is the best fighter,but he is lack of intelligence,only be singly brave.Yes,he is the first one to owe Chi-tu.Have you heard ever,three heroes(Liu Bei,Guan Yu and Zhang Fei)fight against Lv Bu.
So I Like Zhao Yun very much,what a handsome guy,he is not only brave but also smart,and he obey to Liu Bei in all his life.How excellent he is.

Did you just say it's not difficult to learn CHINESE? Arguably, Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn. It is said that it will take the average person 20 years to become proficient in the language.

The book you said is called"SanGuoYanYi",isn't it ? I like Zhu Geliang .He is very faithful and wise. DON'T YOU THINK HE'S VERY COOL !

Hi!

I started to read a book called Lingshan, by a chinese author, Gao Xingjian. He won the Nobel Prize in the 2000. I was reading the spanish version since it is my native language. In the spanish version the book's called "La Monta�a del Alma". Though, I stopped reading it simply because I lost the interest on the story. Besides, I couldn't get to the point when you actually start thinking about the book as your friend.

It is a shame that I didn't continue reading it. I'll try to restart it after finishing the Cronicles of Narnia. And I also agree that it is loads better to read the original version, because you'll be able to enjoy it much more. Though I'm 100% sure that Kanji is the most difficult writing sistem to read.

I have a theory about why did I lose the interest on the book. The thing is that I know almost nothing about the chinese culture so I wasn't able to imagen everything the author described and the way the book is written is quite weird to me, which doesn't necessarly mean that to anybody else.

So, see you soon!!
