From the author of Brothers and China in Ten Words this celebrated contemporary classic of Chinese literature was also adapted for film by Zhang Yimou. This searing novel, originally banned in China but later named one of that nation's most influential books, portrays one man's transformation from the spoiled son of a landlord to a kindhearted peasant. After squandering his family's fortune in gambling dens and brothels, the young, deeply penitent Fugui settles down to do the honest work of a farmer. Forced by the Nationalist Army to leave behind his family, he witnesses the horrors and privations of the Civil War, only to return years later to face a string of hardships brought on by the ravages of the Cultural Revolution. Left with an ox as the companion of his final years, Fugui stands as a model of gritty authenticity, buoyed by his appreciation for life in this narrative of humbling power.Binding Type: Paperback

Stops working after one use
Color: #03 Champagne
Stops sprays very quickly. I used it once to see how it is and now it doesn’t spray.

Best leash we’ve owned in 36 years of dog parenting
Color: Green, Size: Large
Wow! My wife and I have been dog parents for 36 years (six dogs), and this is the best leash we’ve used.
* Two handles: I used to think the second handle was unnecessary—now I can’t go back.
* Comfort: Both handles are padded, so no hand strain on long walks or sudden pulls.
* Tangle-resistant: The swivel between the leash and the loop that goes over the dog’s nose/neck keeps things from twisting, which makes control easier.
* Secure fit: The sizing ring stays put, so it won’t pinch the dog’s nose.
Note: There’s no backup clip to attach to a collar, so a determined dog could slip it if the loop is too loose. Adjusting the ring snugly has worked well for us.
Given the quality and price, I can’t recommend this leash more highly. ★★★★★

Slip lead that doesn't tangled and allows for a greater control
Color: Blue, Size: Large
I'm using this slip lead to volunteer at a dhelter - and what a difference it made! I really like this slip lead leash! Very easy to put it on a pup one-handed, the swivel and second handle make a huge difference! (The main shortcoming of a simpler version of a similar slip lead without a swivel is that it's getting tangled and/or twisted around). This is also high quality item - every detail is thlught through! Very comfortable to use, multiple color options - really nothing negative to complain about! Love this leash!

Second handle too high up on leash
Color: Black, Size: Large
Slip lead length provides your reactive dog with too much range to lunge. The second handle is great but it is too high up on the leash. If the slip lead length was shorter and the second handle was lower, this product would be awesome.
