China Tales and Stories: SENDING A SWAN FEATHER A THOUSAND MILES (English Version)
Sending a Swan Feather a Thousand Miles reminds us that though the package be small, the gift is profound, or as they say in English good things come in small packages.
But far more profound is that this story provides an outstanding example of how humility, patience, and loyalty are forever things of value and quality in the world.
Sending a Swan Feather a Thousand Miles is from the Mead-Hill collection, China Tales and Stories.
Sending a Swan Feather a Thousand Miles is a great moral tale, based on one of China's most beloved stories. The doings of the gentle messenger in the story have been so widely revered that nowadays a reminding hint about his little package serves to pay a very gracious compliment.
In this way, the messenger's tale was told and retold so many times that he became almost as famous as a hero - almost an archetype, in fact. In that way, the tale even became part of China thinking. (For more about that idea, please see Mead-Hill's, China Thinking - An Introduction.)
Sending a Swan Feather a Thousand Miles is published in multiple Mead-Hill editions. Each edition is illustrated by a different artist. Each artist uses a different style of Chinese illustration.
Each illustrated set can be collected; the collections can be put together to build a special library of China tales and stories.
Sending a Swan Feather a Thousand Miles is available in multiple Mead-Hill versions.
