Chinese Reader Gun Controls the Floods - Chinese Graded Readers aimed at Beginner, Simplified Chinese, NEW HSK Standard #940175

A long time ago, China was covered by a terrible flood. People lost their homes and could not grow food. A kind man named Gun wanted to save everyone. He went to Heaven and took magical soil called Xirang, which could grow into huge mountains. Gun used it to block the floodwaters, and the people were happy again. However, the gods became angry because Gun took the soil without permission. The Fire God Zhurong killed him. Later, Gun's son, Yu, continued controlling the floods by digging rivers to guide water into the sea. The story teaches kindness, sacrifice, wisdom, and helping others. This book is for all Chinese beginners. I tried to include most of the vocabularies used in the story, along with their English meanings. Wherever possible, I tried to make use of simple grammar structures and avoid the more complicated grammar structures. If you are a beginner in the Chinese language, this is the book for you.
