Dear Mr. Alymer,

I am a University staff working in department of Medicine. I am writing to you regarding a Chinese book donation. One of the author of this book is my friend who wishes to donate his book to Cambridge University Library. He is use to be a visiting scholar for one year in this University in 90's. This is a novel in poem style (Zigui) which describes a true story in the catastrophe of "5.12" earthquake in the Sichuan province, China in 2008. Two young women and a little boy who were in hydropower station struggled to survive by themselves in the deep mountain. They left the destroyed hydropower station on foot on May 13 and arrived at the Longmen Town on May 16 through innumerable trials and hardships even death struggle. One of the young women died in debris flow when they could see their living town.

This book was published in 2013 and has been recommended to Chinese readers by many popular Websites, such as http://book.sohu.com/20140516/n399642876.shtml,
