Legends of the Condor Heroes is a novel set during the Song Dynasty (12th Century AD China) at a time when the Jurchen (女真) or the Jin were threatening to invade northern China. The story is centered around a young man who begins his path to become a hero.
Teahouse is not only a peak of Lao She's dramatist career but also a monumental (丰碑式的，伟大的) work in the history of modern Chinese drama.

I would recommend Teahouse, a masterpiece of modern Chinese literature by Lao She, which brings together over sixty characters, reflecting Chinese culture and everyday life in China. The play not only provides a detailed picture of Chinese history and culture but also reflects human nature, which manages to strike a chord with people of all walks of life. That’s why I think people outside of China would enjoy reading it.

When faced with answering one big question, start by breaking it down into a series of smaller questions.

Recommending cultural highlights
Activity 1
Read the email.
Dear Jiang,
Great to hear you’re coming to the US! I hope I can convince you to stop by and visit us in New York. There’re so many things to see and do here in the Big Apple. It would take a lifetime to list them all! But knowing you as I do, I’d suggest walking through Midtown Manhattan. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US and just can’t be missed!
Broadway district with its cafés, street performers and enormous and colorful signs really captures New York’s loud spirit! As Broadway is the heart of the American theater industry, it’s at night when it truly comes alive.
From: Selena
To: Jiang
Subject: Visit to the US
Activity 1
Broadway is famous for its big theaters, showing Shakespeare, modern drama, dance shows or musicals – take your pick! With your love of singing and interest in amateur dramatics, I’d recommend a musical. It’s a moving and intense experience that I’m sure you would love – a bit like Peking Opera! Quite a few musicals are based on classic stories like Les Misérables or Peter Pan, and they might even inspire you to read the books, too!
My big news is that we’re all thinking about doing a big trip in China in the winter vacation. We’re looking for a combination of fun and traditional culture. Can you recommend a place of cultural highlights
See you soon!

Les Misérables 《悲惨世界》
It is a French historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. Les Misérables has been popularized through numerous adaptations for the stage, television, and film, including a musical and a film adaptation of that musical.
Peter Pan (彼得·潘) is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. A mischievous boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang, the Lost Boys, interacting with mermaids, Native Americans, fairies, pirates, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie himself, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on Barrie's works.

Dear Selena,
Thank you for all your recommendations, which have definitely inspired me to include New York in my trip. I can’t wait to see you
there!
I'm so excited to hear that you’re coming to China! I can easily suggest places for you to visit because there are so many interesting ones. First of all, I must recommend my own city, Chongqing.
Recommended place
Greetings
Located in the south-west, it would give you an experience of urban China different to that of any other Chinese city. Chongqing is a hilly city with a unique landscape, so the best way to travel around is by light rail. Most of the light rail is above ground, so it’s a great way to get a feel for the place. Chongqing is also the perfect spot to see the amazingly clear line where the emerald waters of the Jialing River and those of the sandy Yangtze River meet. The city is beautiful at night, with its shining lights reflected on the rivers. The most spectacular nighttime views are from one of the surrounding mountain tops.
What it is like
& Reasons for recommendation
Last but not least, you absolutely mustn’t miss out on Chongqing food -it’s spicy, yes, but I promise that after trying our local hot pot, you’ll be hooked. There are loads of other things to see and I’d be very happy to show you around!
See you soon in New York!
Yours
Jiang

Dear Jiang,
Great to hear you’re coming to the US! I hope I can convince you to stop by and visit us in New York. There’re so many things to see and do here in the Big Apple. It would take a lifetime to list them all! But knowing you as I do, I’d suggest walking through Midtown Manhattan. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US and just can’t be missed!
Broadway district with its cafés, street performers and enormous and colorful signs really captures New York’s loud spirit! As Broadway is the heart of the American theater industry, it’s at night when it truly comes alive.

Broadway is famous for its big theaters, showing Shakespeare, modern drama, dance shows or musicals – take your pick! With your love of singing and interest in amateur dramatics, I’d recommend a musical. It’s a moving and intense experience that I’m sure you would love – a bit like Peking Opera! Quite a few musicals are based on classic stories like Les Misérables or Peter Pan, and they might even inspire you to read the books, too!
My big news is that we’re all thinking about doing a big trip in China in the winter vacation. We’re looking for a combination of fun and traditional culture. Can you recommend a place of cultural highlights
See you soon!

Les Misérables 《悲惨世界》
It is a French historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published in 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. Les Misérables has been popularized through numerous adaptations for the stage, television, and film, including a musical and a film adaptation of that musical.
Peter Pan (彼得·潘) is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. A mischievous boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang, the Lost Boys, interacting with mermaids, Native Americans, fairies, pirates, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie himself, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on Barrie's works.

Dear Selena,
Thank you for all your recommendations, which have definitely inspired me to include New York in my trip. I can’t wait to see you
there!
I'm so excited to hear that you’re coming to China! I can easily suggest places for you to visit because there are so many interesting ones. First of all, I must recommend my own city, Chongqing.
Recommended place
Greetings
Located in the south-west, it would give you an experience of urban China different to that of any other Chinese city. Chongqing is a hilly city with a unique landscape, so the best way to travel around is by light rail. Most of the light rail is above ground, so it’s a great way to get a feel for the place. Chongqing is also the perfect spot to see the amazingly clear line where the emerald waters of the Jialing River and those of the sandy Yangtze River meet. The city is beautiful at night, with its shining lights reflected on the rivers. The most spectacular nighttime views are from one of the surrounding mountain tops.

& Reasons for recommendation
Last but not least, you absolutely mustn’t miss out on Chongqing food -it’s spicy, yes, but I promise that after trying our local hot pot, you’ll be hooked. There are loads of other things to see and I’d be very happy to show you around!
See you soon in New York!
Yours
