The Story of Cain and Abel retells one of the Bible's earliest and most powerful stories in clear, beginner-friendly Chinese designed especially for new learners and HSK students. Through simple yet emotionally engaging language, readers follow the lives of Adam and Eve's two sons, Cain and Abel, as they work the land, offer gifts to God, and face the dangerous pull of jealousy and anger. As Cain's unhappiness grows and his choices lead to tragic consequences, the story gently explores themes of sin, responsibility, mercy, and God's justice in a way that is easy to understand without losing its depth.
Written in carefully controlled Chinese and supported by pinyin, full English translation, and sentence-by-sentence explanations, this book allows learners to acquire vocabulary naturally through story rather than memorization. Ideal for HSK 1 learners, self-studiers, and readers interested in biblical narratives, this reader builds confidence, reading fluency, and comprehension while inviting reflection on timeless moral truths. More than a language-learning tool, The Story of Cain and Abel is a meaningful journey into both Chinese reading and one of humanity's oldest stories.
