It is an English translation of an ancient Chinese poem "Lou Shi Ming" by Liu Yu-xi (A. D. 772 842) in Tang Dynasty, which means a memorial posy of a shabby chamber. The first two lines of that poem consist of only eight Chinese characters, with the meaning in English as: "A mountain does not necessary to be high, as long as there lives a saint, it will get good fame. A water body does not necessary to be deep, as long as there exists a dragon, it will demonstrate vital spirit." He submitted his English translation version to the "Best Poets 2016", which will be published soon. Further more, due to the reason that ancient Chinese could be rather difficult to understand by western people, or, even modern Chinese people, in order to let more people world widely to know that ancient poem, he used Google translation site and converted his English version and vernacular Chinese language version into German, Japanese, French, Russian, Spanish six languages.

The Scattered Flock, the last volume of this new series of translations, contains chapters 91-120 that mark the disastrous end of the 108 heroes. The action in this volume can be divided into three parts: the campaign against Tian Hu, the campaign against Wang Qing and the campaign against Fang La. It is in the last of these that the heroes of Mount Liang begin to die. Their demise is as haphazard and casual as the scattering of the flock of geese when the Prodigy shoots them for mere amusement. But the theme of the vanity of human wishes, the emptiness of ambition, becomes prominent earlier."

The Tiger Killers is the second volume of a new translation of the Chinese classical novel generally known as The Water Margin. Like the first volume, The Broken Seals, it follows the fortunes of various outlaw heroes as they move through a world of treacherous officials, jealous toadies, bullying gaolers, hired assassins, foolhardy generals and cannibalistic innkeepers. This volume contains some of the most famous scenes in the novel, starting with the episode in which Wu Song gets drunk at the tavern, ascends the pass in late evening and kills a notorious man-eating tiger with his bare hands. His subsequent encounter with his midget brother's flirtatious wife, Jinlian or Golden Lotus, and her vain attempt to seduce him lead into a tale of adultery, callous murder and bloody vengeance. The second half of the book is concerned with Song Jiang's attempts to serve out his prison sentence honourably and avoid becoming an outlaw, until he is unjustly condemned to death for a misconstrued poem. Towards the end of this volume we meet the violent Li Kui, variously known as Iron Ox or Black Whirlwind, who also turns out to have a way with tigers. This volume consists of chapters 23 to 43 of the full 120-chapter version of the novel by Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong. It is the first English translation based on this version.
