The Everlasting Rock
A NOVEL
Feng Zong-Pu,
translated by Aimee Lykes
“Because Feng Zong-Pu is a distinguished
Chinese writer, because she lived through
China’s two-decade nightmare, because she
authentically details the disastrous effect of
national hysteria on individual lives, and
because The Everlasting Rock is a gripping
story and a good read, the book’s publication
... is both welcome and timely.”
—MARLENE LEE, CALYX
“Fluidly rendered by Lykes, this is an
inspiring story about friendship, love, and
the ability of the human spirit to hope and
somehow survive.” —LIBRARY JOURNAL
Feng Zong-Pu (born in Beijing in 1928)
is one of the leaders of the pioneering
generation of women writers that
emerged in China during the 1950s.

“A deeply convincing
collection; highly recommended
for all collections.”
—CHOICE
“Every one of these stories
stands on its own as
a well-crafted tale, but
together, especially with
Professor Suh’s informative [introduction],
they provide an opportunity for the reader
to discover something about the traditional
Korea, the rural Korea, the Korea beyond the
sprawl and hustle of Seoul.” —KOREA HER-
