Have you seen those signs of a passionate life? A summer adventure in search of light, nature, shared by a father and son. On clear summer nights, fireflies emerge. A child and his father went out into the wild to search for them. Entering the woods, he gradually discovered that it wasn't just fireflies that glowed at night. They saw dewdrops on leaf tips reflecting moonlight, the yellow-green glow of wildcat eyes, glowing mushrooms on rotting tree roots, and even the twinkling of stars. These lights captivated the child's curiosity, leading him to the world of fireflies. Fireflies are a symbol of life, flickering in the lightless summer nights, chasing each other, their vibrant energy signaling a life lived in all its glory. This book was written by Xinhua Fu, the first professor at Huazhong Agricultural University and the first in mainland China to hold a PhD in firefly research. English translation available Xinhua Fu is a professor of the College of Plant Science and Technology at Huazhong Agricultural University, and the first doctoral student in mainland China to conduct firefly research. Since 2000, he has dedicated himself to the study of fireflies, discovering and naming several unique firefly species in China.Lijiao Che is a picture book writer who graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts.

After he built the house, he stayed at home every day, never caring about what happened outside. When the neighbors discussed that a nearby tree was eaten by pests and fell down, he didn't care at all, just thought they were annoying. When the birds fought the pests, he didn't help, just felt that it was noisy outside the window. When it finally became quiet outside and he walked out, he realized what a tragedy his indifference had caused. The author Lian En Lin did not care about social trends and issues until she became a mother.&nbsp;Through this book, she rethinks what is good and what is evil, and hopes that this book can enable children to create a better world. Lian En Lin worked as a character and art designer at an animation company for more than a year after granduation. Now she is focusing on illustration. Her work Home has won the first prize of Fiction of Ragazzi Award (Bologna Children’s Book Fair) in 2021.&nbsp; <img width="610" height="746" width_o="610" height_o="746" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9392ccc43e21c9f0495d6d25c2887074f76d062cf3baf663d106267268c938cc/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-3.07.02-PM.png" data-mid="225057311" border="0" data-scale="46" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/610/i/9392ccc43e21c9f0495d6d25c2887074f76d062cf3baf663d106267268c938cc/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-3.07.02-PM.png" />Text &amp; Illustration: Lian En LinPublished by Taiwan Mac, 2024 210*250 mm 64 pages Rights sold: Korean, Swedish English translation available <img width="1674" height="994" width_o="1674" height_o="994" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f734cce08ab81ee46f567daa7dda6e529b2dc7b6e85f276ef4f4155a249d0e9/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-11.29.41-AM.png" data-mid="225057312" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f734cce08ab81ee46f567daa7dda6e529b2dc7b6e85f276ef4f4155a249d0e9/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-11.29.41-AM.png" /> <img width="1674" height="994" width_o="1674" height_o="994" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d65b7ac8f1c07cf94565891860d6276f5f2a6f8938af664187c4c559145595cc/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-11.29.54-AM.png" data-mid="225057313" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d65b7ac8f1c07cf94565891860d6276f5f2a6f8938af664187c4c559145595cc/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-11.29.54-AM.png" /> <img width="1674" height="994" width_o="1674" height_o="994" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c4aeeb15af9d4cb3191be3f2a034694a1b0649e0533ad9cc810dfc87cff3e391/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-11.30.10-AM.png" data-mid="225057314" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c4aeeb15af9d4cb3191be3f2a034694a1b0649e0533ad9cc810dfc87cff3e391/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-11.30.10-AM.png" /> <img width="1674" height="994" width_o="1674" height_o="994" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7094fe9a90672eb1e3f0df5b182eb3788446e66281c310dc4293ee95d7bbd245/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-11.30.45-AM.png" data-mid="225057315" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7094fe9a90672eb1e3f0df5b182eb3788446e66281c310dc4293ee95d7bbd245/Screenshot-2025-01-19-at-11.30.45-AM.png" /> https://flyingstarscc.com/A-Deer-of-Nine-Colors Fri, 01 Aug 2025 06:08:20 +0000 www.flyingstarscc.com https://flyingstarscc.com/A-Deer-of-Nine-Colors A Deer of Nine Colors A Deer of Nine Colors is a story based on the Buddhist Jataka tale, telling how the Deer King saved a drowning man and later betrayed by him.
