When the three novellas in The King of Trees were published separately in China in the 1980s, Ah Cheng fever spread across the country. Never before had a fiction writer dealt with the Cultural Revolution in such Daoist-Confucian terms, discarding Mao-speak, and mixing both traditional and vernacular elements with an aesthetic that emphasized not the hardships and miseries of those years, but the joys of close, meaningful friendships. In The King of Chess, a student s obsession with finding worthy chess opponents symbolizes his pursuit of the dao; in The King of Children made into an award-winning film by Chen Kaige, the director of Farewell My Concubine an educated youth is sent to teach at an impoverished village school where one boy s devotion to learning is so great he is ready to spend 500 days copying his teacher s dictionary; and in the title novella a peasant s innate connection to a giant primeval tree takes a tragic turn when a group of educated youth arrive to clear the mountain forest. As moving and enduring as the best of Jack London or Knut Hamsun, The King of Trees is as relevant today as it will be tomorrow."Binding Type: Paperback

Great Quality Soap with a Clean, Masculine Scent
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I recently got the Rinse & Robust Men’s Bar Soap Set, and the bar I’m holding in the picture is the Leather scent, which my husband has been trying out first. It has a rich, masculine fragrance that smells clean without being too strong. The soap lathers nicely, rinses off easily, and leaves his skin feeling soft instead of dry.
The set also includes Sandalwood and Teakwood, which both smell amazing in the box. I can already tell they’ll be just as refreshing. Each bar feels well-made and lasts longer than most store-bought soaps we’ve tried. The packaging looks great too, so it would make a thoughtful gift set. So far, the Leather scent has been a hit. It’s a classic, smooth, and perfect for everyday use.

My honest thoughts on this soap.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I think this soap is very good. The texture is nice and the scent it omits is amazing. It is a little smaller than they are letting on and it is quite expensive. But if you like quality over quantity then this is for you.

Smells great and works well. Rinses clean. Not rough on the skin. Bars are rather small for the price

Good aroma
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I bought this set of soaps out of curiosity and I was surprised. The three scents—leather, sandalwood, and teakwood—are warm and masculine without being heavy. They lather well, leave the skin clean and soft, and haven't dried me out like other men's soaps.
The scrub has a nice texture, ideal for use after the gym, and the other two are gentler for daily use. The size is somewhat small, but each bar lasts quite a bit. Overall, a good option if you like to smell good and take care of your skin without complicating things.
