Merry Christmas to all of our fans! Please let us introduce our plans for the year 2011. First of all, thanks to all of our readers for giving us the support to continue to grow and expand the Capturing Chinese series.  Due to the popularity of the Capturing Chinese series, we are publishing quite a few new books in 2011. In early 2011, we will publish Capturing Chinese: Lu Xun's A New Year's Sacrifice, which is one of Lu Xun's best stories from his second collection of short stories, Wondering. This book will be our shortest book and hopefully will allow more students to get a sampling of our books before tackling some of the longer volumes. In late 2011, we will be publishing a Spanish version of the Capturing Chinese series.  We have not yet decided which stories will be included in the Spanish version, but the format will be similar.  In addition, a Spanish translation will be accompanying the Chinese text. Also throughout 2011 and 2012 we will be publishing Capturing Chinese books using compilations of different authors.  Some that we have in mind are Zhu Ziqing, Zhou Zuoren, Mao Dun, Lao She, Zhang Ailing, and quite a few others.  As we put the works together we will be introducing a weekly short story on our web site.  Some of the these short stories will then become our next book.  Stay tuned in early 2011.  If you are looking for some great Chinese short stories to read then we have quite a few recommendations for you. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The Capturing Chinese Team
