篇目1：《魂归故里化作梅（王昭君）》
However, the distant land of the Xiongnu was a bleak place, and all of the palace maids were reluctant to go there except Wang Zhaojun, who bravely volunteered to marry the Xiongnu chief for the sake of ending her people’s suffering.
She said, “Finally, the leader of the Xiongnu desires peace with us. Whoever of us is willing to marry him will be a peace envoy. This is the real reason I have decided to take this step.
I used to think of myself as being no more than a weak woman, who would never have the opportunity of serving my country like a man would. Now I have such a splendid opportunity!”
Emperor Yuan, hearing of her words, thought to himself: “The courage of this woman is really deserving of respect.” He hurriedly summoned Wang Zhaojun to his throne room.
篇目2：《牛郎织女的传说》
One day, as the sun was setting behind the western hills, Herdboy and the ox were plodding their weary way home, when the ox suddenly started to speak. It told Herdboy that fairies would descend from Heaven that very evening to play in a nearby river, and urged him to go there.
Herdboy was amazed, but curiosity compelled him to go to the river just as night was closing in. There in the pitch-dark night he seemed to see the forms of girls twinkling like stars. Fairies had indeed come down to Earth!
As they descended, each one took off her winged garment, and began to splash about and play in the water. Herdboy, hiding in a clump of trees near the river, watched the fairies’ graceful movements.
He found the youngest fairy particularly attractive. Her smiling face moved Herdboy’s heart, and he instantly fell in love with her. On an impulse, he snatched up and hid her winged garment.
篇目3：《游洞记》
It was as though the five men had stumbled into a fairyland. As they went further in, the temperature dropped, and their torch started to burn low. Everyone began to feel anxious, and their once-bold footsteps began to falter.
At this moment, a nervous young man said, “We should go back out now, otherwise we won’t be able to get out. If our torch dies, we’ll all be trapped in this cave.”
Alarmed at these words, everyone turned around, and scuttled back out of the cave. However, Wang Anshi was soon filled with regret: The torch clearly could have lasted for much longer.
There were many more wonders in the cave, but they had rushed out halfway through exploring it. How disappointing! But then the following thought came to him: “When I heard that man’s call to leave the cave, I did what the others did without even thinking.
That shows that I am a coward, too. It was my fault that we turned back. My own resolve is not firm enough; how can I blame others?”
