I've finished this book whilst I was in the UK for our very long Christmas/New Year holiday. It was... breathtaking! It's called "Chinese Tiger", obviously, by a Chinese novelist (Li Ke Wei) and it's in Chinse...
The story is fiction but it's based on facts - the fact about how the Chinese have destroyed the environment and one of the most precious animals in the country. Once again, the truth about how Chinese deals with things area revealed by through an interesting story on the surface, the fact on the background - a story of how a Chinese tiger was seen and found and observed; how funding & specialists both from some other parts of the world have been put in to prevent the extinction of this beautiful creature; how tremendous efforts were put in to help it breed, probably for the last time in its existence, and succeeded; how fascinating the creatures are and how the human have owed it all to them; how at the same time illegal hunters were sent in by another country where the funding would be if the creature has become extinct for real...
It is very disappointing but I have decided to ignore the saddening fact about the creature while I was reading it and enjoyed the story. Otherwise it would be too sad to read. Let's hope that there's still hope.
刚看完了"中国虎"这本由李克威写的小说, 一部让人看得眼冒金星也不愿放下的好书! 又一部藉由小说来揭开中国急速发展背后的悲哀... 也再一次揭露了人性的丑陋... 看了一小半后, 我决定不理作者想带出来的残酷的现实 -- 看完就算, 不然的话太沉重了... 而我, 人微言轻, 根本没有办法去改变些什么...
