As the title of the collection suggests, David Wong's characters are mostly Chinese and their stories are set over the last fifty or so years, decades of dramatic and often terrifying change in China.Some, such as The Tennis Ball, depict pre-war Treaty Port life in China when, to a small boy from a poor Chinese family, a tennis ball seemed talismanic, symbolic of the leisured life of foreigners who could spend a whole afternoon hitting balls across nets whilst his mother, a servant aged before her time, worked for a pittance. For him, illusion was followed by disillusion but he was young enough to understand and learn.Learning, often from bitter experience, David Wong's characters seek resolution to eternal problems, sometimes complicated by external factors. Some do so with resignation, some with an admirable optimism.

The two Chinese classics that this volume consists of Wu Zi's 'Art of War' and 'Conversations with Tang Taizong' were written a thousand years apart. However, the latter carries regular references to the former, and the principles of warfare, leadership, strategy and organisation were themes eagerly discussed throughout Chinese history. Even a cursory reading of these books provides ample reasons why General Wu Zi, who lived in the earlier part of the Warring States period (475-221 BC) never lost a battle in his life, and why Emperor Taizong managed to found the long-lasting Tang Dynasty (AD 618-906) that southern Chinese still proudly refer to as the basis of their culture. Today, centuries later, these master strategists still overwhelm us with their insights and words of wisdom.
