The second volume in this fun, comic-style series that explores China's transition from the Three Kingdoms to the Tang Dynasty.
The second volume in a 5-volume series, builds on philosophical, economic, and political ideas introduced in first volume, e.g. the dynastic cycle, Buddhism, Confucianism, taxation.

This book works as a stand-alone title. Gives readers solid grounding in important Jin, Sui, and Tang dynasties, as well as Three Kingdoms period.

This is the only comic or graphic novel of its kind that addresses Chinese history both accessibly and accurately for all age levels.

Taps into librarians, educators, and parents who are looking for ways to get students and children reading about China, and who are often looking for such resources themselves too. This can be the go-to graphic novel resource on China.

Not just an informative read though, this book is also full of gripping narratives about dynastic struggles, fierce battles, and colorful characters.

Already blurbed by Amy Tan, the author is a well-known figure in expat communities in China, having worked with The BBC, The Ford Foundation, and UNICEF, and has contacts in English-speaking media who will help promote.

A previous edition of a volume in this series published on CreateSpace was a 2012 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award Finalist in Graphic Novels and Comics and was featured on Jeremy Paxman's BBC Newsnight.

Jing Liu is an artist and entrepreneur from Beijing, China.
