Hi, I’m Chen Li Tao, a certified Chinese teacher, and I’ve spent the past 10 years helping hundreds of students learn Chinese through Comprehensible Input and TPRS. Over time, I noticed that there weren’t enough engaging immersion materials for learners, especially at the beginner and intermediate levels. That’s why I began writing stories for my own students—to make reading in Chinese easier, more enjoyable, and more meaningful. This website grew from that idea, and I hope it helps you build confidence, grow your vocabulary, and enjoy learning Chinese through stories you can truly understand.
Description
A leisure trip to Beijing turns strange when Xiaoyu wakes up alone in a locked hotel. Her father is missing, and messages from a mysterious “Doctor Qian” are waiting for her. Something is very wrong.
