JADE PHOENIX
Book ID/图书代码： 12609514B68079
English Summary/英文概要： When Taiwanese millionaire Ko-sa Ong shows up in Washington with Jade Phoenix by his side, Nick Malter, his best friend, and his lost "Angel" would all rather be in some other country.
But Taiwan is no ordinary country in the 1970s. Against all odds, Ko-sa has everything he could want except a son and a nation. Jade Phoenix has nothing after her father, a senior Nationalist general, commits suicide. Nick Malter, an American reporter, peers under the veils that cloak the Chinese and their women. Love blooms in a wilderness of misunderstanding.
Ko-sa and Nick share an abiding hatred of Chiang Kai-shek and the cynical American Secretary of State who would forever deny the Taiwanese their country. They risk all for each other, but both give up everything for the love of Jade Phoenix.
A stroke of the pen shatters dreams of nationhood and foreign devils challenge ancient Chinese customs in this extraordinary cross-cultural adventure. Betrayal and trust forge uncontrollable urges, fierce loyalties, and love that extends beyond life itself.

The Entr’Acte by Jacques Ibert was the only flute and guitar music that Lisa brought with her that night, and Syd had never played with a guitarist before. So that first piece had its first reading at our first meeting. And that serendipitous encounter led to some three hundred duo concert performances and workshops in twenty countries in Europe, the Americas and Asia over the next dozen years.
