Ni hao Benny, again, :D
Well, this may be a silly question and I may be asking a lot… but here goes:
One of my goals is to be able to read the entirety of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Art of War, in Chinese.
Would you happen to know if I could read either of these online or buy a copy written in Pinyin, not in characters, but words. Furthermore, do you know if I can buy a book written in letters in Chinese to help me improve – if so, can you recommend me one?
Xie xie. I know this is asking quite a bit but I much appreciate it.
Xia ci jian.

Unfortunately there is no book about art of war written in Pin Yin :( As far as I know, there is one pin yin version about 3 kingdoms, but its for the kids from 5-8 years old and its not complete.
Also there is no book written in letters in Chinese nowadays, I think the only way to read the 3 kingdoms and art of war is to learn Characters, but that takes a long long time.

2008-02-13 / 06:28PM | | Ah, I didn’t think so. :/ It would be very useful to have a book written in letters in Chinese, though.
I mainly just want to be able to refer to all the classics in Chinese – after all, things often get lost in translation when translated into English, people can get very different interpretations. Nothing can capture its essence better than the Chinese in its original form.
Do you know of any short stories or anything of the sort written in letters in Chinese that might help me?
Xie xie. Xia ci jian. ;) | |
