Lady of Ch'iao Ku: Warrior of the South — Laurence Yep

2nd Month, 3rd Day

...There was once a time when the Chinese could just make up stories and write them down.

They didn't have to be afraid of enemies attacking. They could make gardens instead of forts. They could walk out at night without any weapons and look up at stars.

Master Chen calls it "peace."

It is hard to think there really is such a thing. I find it easier to believe that a warrior can fly through the stars in a magic chariot. However, the history books and Master Chen all say peace really existed.
