Many have experienced a malaise and come to know its persistence. We seem to have become used to stasis and theoretical discussions, lingering in silence and hoping from time to time for something extraordinary to happen. Yet it might also have been a blessing; an opportunity to free ourselves from overarching narratives, to direct our attention to the individual, the local, and to subjects that have long been part of our own lives—a more agile, intuitive mindset. The third issue of \u003ci\u003ete magazine\u003c\/i\u003e took shape in this context, and chose to confront experiences of “plight”—plight of the persecuted, of the artists, of the, and of those living with colonial legacies. How might we, as individuals, transmute plights in order to learn to live in this world? If each piece in this issue can be said to propose\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003ea mode of healing, the aim is not only about specific pathologies, but rather to recommend adjustments and defenses in moments of crisis. While writing on the plights of others, the authors also look inward for the roots of questions that they have long harbored about their own experiences. As introduced by Jacques Lacan, the theory of “the mirror stage” refers to children's initial awareness of their own existence. As adults, we continue to grapple with the process of self-discovery and understanding, at times feeling trapped deeply in the “mirror.” This issue's theme, \u003ci\u003eMirroring\u003c\/i\u003e represents a continuous exploration of the self. On the one hand, these pieces document the processes of setbacks, negating, questioning and reconciling; on the other, delineate the self through the other, a process discernible in several jointly-authored pieces in this issue, where a special connection and sense of fellowship formed through dialogue, correspondence, and collaborative research. this world, did not search for the true essence, did not aim at a world beyond.” \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e[1] Siddhartha by H.

The ceremonies in the Minnan region unfold like grand dramas in which she is both an observer and a participant. Throughout the ceremony, Wen-You is enveloped in the unknown; everything seems meticulously arranged. Amidst the overwhelming grief of losing loved ones, there exists a feeling of confusion, and taking photographs was one of the ways for her to engage in the funeral process. For this photo series, Wen-You was initially confronted by her own fear of death, intertwined with her bewilderment and curiosity about the complex funeral rituals and its uniqueness inherent to Minnan culture. To demystify these subjects, Wen-You, joined by te editions, interviewed a funeral director who provides comprehensive “one-stop services,” a monk who hosts Buddhist ceremonies, and a folklorist of Minnan rituals. Minnan Exit can be interpreted as many things–a family album, a curated collection of photographs, an unfinished journey of discovery, as well as the process of Wen-You's reconciliation with her mortality.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ci\u003eMinnan Exit\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cspan\u003ewas designed by an independent graphic design studio, RELATED DEPARTMENT.

The third, \"Chronicle,\" includes a detailed account of the shocking June 4th case commemorating the 25th anniversary, an in-depth exploration of Ye Fu's family history, and the stories of his fellow inmates behind bars. The fourth, \"Travel Notes,\" records the author's observations and reflections on his European travels to Germany, the Czech Republic, Turkey, and Luxembourg, as well as his efforts in rural development in Luojiang, Sichuan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"読道社","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Simplified Chinese","offer_id":46478772764911,"sku":"9784910908113","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/61tXeo4QMCL._SL1500.jpg?v=1748060662"},{"product_id":"ground-sea-地浪","title":"Ground Sea","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKanthy Peng's debut artist book,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ci\u003eGround Sea\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cspan\u003e, weaves a visual narrative exploring depression, memory, and loss through 73 photographs.

The design engages with the flux of the visual narrative through calibrated shifts in graphic and material density. In an attempt to reflect a concern of the artist, of highlighting the physical experience of depression over its pathology, the design treats text as image and image as matter.

Bringing together works by over a dozen artists from various countries and regions, the exhibition explores the origins, flexibility, and limits of interpersonal communication. Language and music, for individuals, carry the fleeting flow of emotions and thoughts; for humanity as a whole, they represent living history and collective memory, residing within all our minds. Embracing this holistic vision, the exhibition connects individual breath with global currents, embarking on a journey of synesthesia, exploring listening, perception, and resonance. In an information age constantly scrambled by disagreements and conflicts, attempting to experience and convey the ineffable beauty of rhythm that transcends time and space may help people rediscover their original desire for communication and consensus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e ———\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe publication \"Notes on Sound\" emerged from this exhibition, yet it's not solely based on the exhibition's concept; it can be seen as a facet of it.

These documents serve as pathways, connecting memories and experiences of the site. \"Notes\" is both a note and a musical note.

During his studies at Yenching University, he participated in organizing student movements against dictatorship and for democracy. After graduation, he joined Xinhua Daily and later worked for a long time in the International Department of Xinhua News Agency, accompanying Zhou Enlai multiple times to major international conferences and diplomatic visits. In 1957, he was \"personally designated\" as a Rightist for advocating \"great democracy.\" After the reform and opening-up, he accompanied Deng Xiaoping and Zhao Ziyang on visits to the United States and was tasked with establishing the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of American Studies, serving as its first director. In 1989, Li Shenzhi was criticized again for his sympathy for the student movement, and the following year, he was removed from his position as Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, after which he began to write.

Wu Si coined this term to describe the fundamental dilemma faced by economic entities in a unified society where power governs resource allocation: incomplete property rights, fragile rights, and a graded market. Once top-level power intervenes, individuals and enterprises lack basic resistance and institutional safeguards. This situation is neither a free market nor a traditional planned economy, but a uniquely Chinese institutional structure where \"power is embedded in the market.\" This book presents a structural diagram revealing how state power is embedded in market mechanisms, creating layers of obstacles in institutional arrangements, forming a \"top-down erosion state\" that is neither fully property-righted nor a fully free market. In this system, resources are institutionally graded, and rights are nested layer upon layer. State power, under the guise of \"overall planning,\" continuously intervenes in economic activities through institutional taxation. Wu Si uses \"officialdom-ism\" to summarize this structural feature. He points out: \"Officialdom-ism\" inherited from China's ancient monarchical tradition, is an institutional system where state power comprehensively infiltrates social resource allocation and economic organizations. Through a whole set of institutional designs such as licenses, permits, quotas, ISBNs, and exclusive franchises, power can participate in the market in a taxation-like manner, shaping a market hierarchy with \"clear grades and unequal status.\" He named it \"graded market.\" This book is the first systematic depiction of \"officialdom-ism\" in the economic field. It profoundly reveals a market ecosystem where power is embedded, institutions are capped, and the bottom is fragmented, from the perspectives of property rights, market, resource allocation, and commodity pricing, helping us understand China's economic logic and property rights structure.","brand":"1 Plus Books","offers":[{"title":"平装\/Paperback \/ 简体中文\/Simplified Chinese","offer_id":47967939887343,"sku":"9781966814054","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/51lqKfomQZL._SY342.jpg?v=1782198470"},{"product_id":"在东京重造中国","title":"Recreating China in Tokyo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is one of the \"Yijia - Dudaoshuxi\" series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Tokyo in 1905, Chinese students numbered 8,000.

The liberated hands could now be used to create tools for defense and hunting. The pupils’ gazes shifted from a level view to a downward perspective, a physical change that also translated into an awareness that overlooked other species. The spine, situated at the center of the human body, acts like a covert ruler, measuring the scale of evolution and supporting the illusion of being “human-centric.” Thus, humans stand, placing themselves far above all other creatures. Following this profound gestural revolution came the imagination and manipulation of non-human animals (the Others), turning them into livestock and companions, as their wildness was rewritten as docility. Their bodies became resources to be medicated and refined, transforming into instruments for milk and nutritious meat production. They became basic knowledge and research data, linking humanity’s ever-expanding and illusory colonial territories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscussions and attempts to understand often struggle to escape the limitations of human centrism. Trapped in a persistent ethical dilemma, we find it difficult to navigate the unequal power dynamics that confine us. As the urgency of environmental and ecological issues intensifies, a question repeatedly emerges: Is it possible for us to construct a relatively equal multi-species world? Can we, with greater humility and introspection, relearn how to coexist with the Others? This fourth issue does not offer answers; instead, it comprises reflections and imaginations, as most contributors have long-standing experiences with or ongoing research on non-human animals. Through observation, education, painting, writing, and image-making, they seek to loosen the existing “ethical relationships” and “orderly rules.” Returning to the interior of the body, each vertebra of the spine accumulates traces of human transitions and memories that have yet to dissipate. However, the spine has never fully completed its evolution; its flaws are evident, and the hidden pain it causes always accompanies the body. Perhaps it is this persistent pain that continually reminds us that suffering, which may seem unrelated to us, can be perceived anew from the fissure of spines. By stepping into the bodies of Others, to feel and acknowledge them, a slow exchange occurs that reopens our imagination and generates a relationship that has yet to be named.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"te editions","offers":[{"title":"多语言\/Multilingual \/ 平装\/Paperback","offer_id":49805441597679,"sku":"9798989017058","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/DSF6267.jpg?v=1781506049"},{"product_id":"xunzhaochenfengdejiyi-9781949736281","title":"Unearthing Buried Memories: The History of the Republic of China Air Force's Training in the US During the Anti-Japanese War and Investigations into Air Crashes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book won the 2022 Best Non-Fiction Book Honor Award from the Chinese American Librarians Association!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring World War II, a succession of Chinese Air Force pilots were sent to the United States for training, based on agreements reached between the Chinese and American governments.

Understated dark humor. Gritty details that challenge the senses and aesthetics. A grassroots testament to a vanished history. In the summer of 1996, the author Chen Ping was arrested by the public security organs for co-authoring an article on constitutional issues with his friend Fu Guoyong. Without a public trial or defense proceedings, he was sent to a detention center and then to a labor camp. *Random Notes from a Labor Camp* records precisely this experience. With vivid, detailed, yet calm brushstrokes, the author recounts the real life in the detention center and labor camp between 1996 and 1997: crowded cells, strict and absurd daily routines, the complex hierarchy among prisoners, and the various characters within the high walls. In this confined world, the relationship between institutions, power, and human nature is gradually revealed. The book contains no grand narratives but, through dozens of true stories, records snippets of life in the detention center and labor camp, such as \"White Steamed Buns,\" \"Whoever You Tell Me to Kill, I Kill,\" \"The Troubles of Defecating,\" \"Odor Control,\" \"Femininity,\" and \"Chronicles of the Underworld.\" Through concrete and vivid details, a society almost unknown to the outside world gradually emerges.

It was only after he left that she understood the meaning of \"accompanying.\" In 2022, after losing her beloved, she wrote *Walking with You*. And today, standing on the brink of life and death herself, she began to understand: there is a kind of companionship that death cannot end. Qu Yi, a Doctor of Mechanical Engineering, moved to the United States after graduating with a master's degree from Tsinghua University in 2000, where she met her lifelong love, Sun Zhaohui, who also moved to the US that same year. In 2020, Sun Zhaohui was diagnosed with late-stage colon cancer. In 2022, he ceased treatment and passed away. In extreme grief, Qu Yi fasted for forty days and wrote *Walking with You*, published in 2023, touching countless readers. Two years later, she was diagnosed with a rare blood tumor; without chemotherapy, her survival period was three to five months. This time, she is no longer merely the one sending off, but the one personally heading into the unknown. *Walking with You (2)* records precisely this journey. She did not choose to be strong but learned to \"lie low when the wind blows hard\"; she no longer questioned \"Why me?\" but slowly transformed this question into \"Why not me?\"; she discovered that the physical crisis actually awakened her from the spiritual desolation after her husband's death—suffering became a blessing in disguise. The book is divided into five parts: Submission and Entrustment, Suffering and Joy, Death and Life, Not Seeking and Gaining, Seeking and Discarding. With her consistently authentic and unevasive笔触, Qu Yi writes about the unexpected calm upon diagnosis, the arduous days of recovery after undergoing treatment at UCSF and completing a stem cell transplant alone, the panic and care during her sister's sudden cerebral infarction during her treatment, and also how a long-lost smile quietly returned to her face on a peculiar morning in the Costa Rican rainforest. This is not a book about illness, but a book about love, about life, and about the deeper, more enduring connection between people than we might imagine.
