This book is a collection of stories set in Asia, inspired by the author's travels to China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, and the Philippines.
The stories are about people from all walks of life, from young lovers to old friends, from farmers to factory workers, from cooks to merchants. They are stories about hope, love, loss, compassion, and redemption. They are stories about the human experience, told from a uniquely Asian perspective.
The stories in this book are diverse and thought-provoking. They explore the different cultures and traditions of Asia, as well as the challenges and triumphs of the people who live there.
In The Beauty in the Painting, a young woman in an ancient painting wrecks havoc on the wicked. In Ah Mei and the City, a young woman from a rural village leaves home to pursue her dreams in the big city. In Dr. Chan's Homecoming, an elderly doctor returns to his hometown in China after many years away and discovers a gift. And in Lucky Louie in the Golden Triangle, a cook uses his creativity to escape the clutches of a drug lord.
These are just some of the stories in this book. Each one is a unique and unforgettable tale that will take you on a journey through the fascinating world of Asia.
If you are interested in learning more about Asia, or if you simply enjoy a good story, then you will want to read this book. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to experience the rich culture and diversity of Asia.
Kim's first book, Where Chingchoks Chirp, is a memoir, a collection of essays about his childhood days in Bangkok.
