chenyj  +  103802 Sun, 29 May 05 11:06 AM I have learnt that Han Han’s book have been translated into French and is popular in France. Han Han, a Chinese writer, who now is keen on racing. I’d rather to know its French name. Have you read it or ever heard of it? If you do, what do you think about it? chenyj Joined on Sat, May 7 2005 China Junior Member 83

	chenyj  +  104880 Thu, 02 Jun 05 08:11 AM Thank you. But I only know a little French. It may be too hard for me to understand the whole passage. Could someone help translate it into English? chenyj

	pieanne  +  104886 Thu, 02 Jun 05 08:53 AM The French title is "Le cheval magique de Han Gan" When he was young, Han Gan loved drawing. He especially loved to draw horses, and always wanted his horses to look as "alive" as possible. As he grew up, Han Gan became a great painter, even the Emperor knew about his talent. But soon strange things were told about him. People whispered that his horses were more real than life, and that his magic pinsel could give them life pieanne

	chenyj  +  105960 Mon, 06 Jun 05 04:58 AM A good story. It sounds much like an old Chinese fairy. But I am not talking about this one. I am talking about a book from China. Han Han is the author of this book. It is introduced to France in the culture and art interchange between China and France (The interchange is held once a year. China and France held it in turns.). The book is mainly talk about a Chinese student. He is not very good at studying. When he was in junior school, he loved a beautiful girl who is good at studying. In order to stay with the girl, he enrolled a good senior school, while the girl chose an ordinary senior school for the same purpose. He was not propitious in the senior school. At last he was punished by the school for not return to the dorm for one night. It is said that this book has been translated into French and sells well in France. This book has also cause some French experts to pay attention to Chinese education. chenyj
