**AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW** 'Full of depth. . . wonderful
writing.' SARAH HALL 'Dazzlingly good. . . crackling with
playfulness and intelligence.' DANIELLE McLAUGHLIN 'Precise,
surreal and emotionally devastating' LUCY CALDWELL 'How do you know
this is all real and happening? How can you be sure you haven't
already died in the earthquake and are just living in the
afterlife?' In her highly anticipated English-language debut, Yan
Ge explores isolation in nine iridescent, witty and wondrous tales.
Both contemporary and ancient, real and surreal, the stories in
Elsewhere range from China to Dublin to London and Stockholm. From
a group of writers lounging on the edge of a disaster zone to a
mandarin ostracised from his old court trying to avoid
assassination, and from a woman who inexplicably loses her voice to
a couple who meet all too fleetingly at a cinema in Dublin, these
are strange and beguiling stories of dispossession, longing and the
diasporic experience. 'Glorious' MIA GALLAGHER 'A gripping,
stunning work, worldly and otherworldly.' MADELEINE THIEN 'Equal
parts shimmering wit and startling emotional depth.' JEREMY TIAN
'One of the most surprising writers I've read in recent years. . .
fantastic.' MATT BELL
The COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei, saw great numbers of
patients overwhelming the admission capacity of designated
infectious diseases hospitals, which in turn led to insufficient
medical supplies fulfilling treatment needs. Hence, Zall Foundation
proposed the construction of COVID-19 Emergency Hospitals to
effectively respond to the surging number of COVID-19 cases. This
involved the conversion of existing hospitals that have
insufficient, or do not have admission capacities for infectious
diseases patients, into emergency hospitals that solely focus on
receiving suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases. From January 30,
2020, Zall Foundation, along with professional medical
institutions, reconstructed seven existing professional medical
institutions into COVID-19 Emergency Hospitals in less than 10
days. In total, 4,583 wards were provided after renovation, where
2,833 confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients were cured. The
COVID-19 Emergency Hospitals have played an important role in
China's epidemic prevention and control by efficiently easing the
problems of insufficient ward beds and inadequate admission
capacities of infectious diseases hospitals.Based on the experience
of construction and operation of the emergency hospitals which are
designed in strict adherence to relevant medical standards and
regulations, this manual has been compiled by the Zall Foundation.
It aims to provide useful reference to the reconstruction of
existing hospitals and practice of expanding medical resources for
all other regions around the world, to effectively contribute to
pandemic control. The manual has been translated into more than 20
languages.

A novel public health concept, the Fangcang Shelter Hospital was
first proposed by Professor Wang Chen, an academician of Chinese
Academy of Engineering, in Wuhan, China, in February 2020. While
responding to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak,
medical staff faced the pressing situation of limited medical
supplies, which led Professor Wang Chen to the suggestion of
converting large-scale public venues such as exhibition centers and
indoor stadiums into shelter hospitals to receive large number of
patients, as this involved minimum time and monetary costs. The
five essential functions of Fangcang Shelter Hospitals (isolation,
triage, provision of basic medical care, frequent monitoring and
rapid referral, and essential living and social engagement) enable
shelter hospitals to receive patients with mild to moderate
symptoms of COVID-19, and have the greatest impact on isolating the
source of infection and expanding the area's health-care
capacity.Two of the first three Fangcang Shelter Hospitals set up
in Wuhan were redeveloped by Zall Group Property from existing
buildings, while Zall Foundation was responsible for the provision
of essential medical supplies and logistical support to facilitate
the running of these shelter hospitals. In total, the two shelter
hospitals have been instrumental in diagnosing, treating and curing
3663 patients. Under the medical expertise and guidance of
Professor Wang Chen, as well as inputs from Zall Foundation's crews
who contributed to the design, renovation and operation of these
shelter hospitals, this manual encompasses knowledge and experience
distilled from the running of these Fangcang Shelter Hospitals.
Covering five important aspects, namely the proposal, design,
renovation, operation, and logistical support for shelter
hospitals, this booklet aims to be a useful reference for other
epidemic prevention and control efforts in regions around the
world. The manual has been translated into more than 20 languages.

The Ultimate Chinese Martial Art - The Science of the Weaving
Stance Bagua 64 Forms and the Wellness Applications has three well
integrated parts. Part One describes the cultural, historical and
scientific background of the mysterious inner style martial art -
Bagua Palm - which used to be taught in a small circle of the Royal
families in China. Part Two gives a brief and yet detailed
instructions on the techniques and step by step exercises of Bagua
Palms with illustrations, including the example of the famous
Weaving Stance Bagua 64 Forms. Part Three summarizes the wellness
applications of the Bagua Palms as an inner style Chinese martial
art.The aim of this book is to help all people on this planet to
have a better understanding about wellness and the most effective
way to achieve it. The book will thus ultimately make its way to
the short list of books which truly leave their marks on the
progress of human civilization. The less than sophisticated style
of writing makes this book an easy and helpful reading for people
from all walks of life.This book is not just about Chinese martial
art. It is also about the link between Chinese culture and martial
art. With practical instructions on the actual exercise, this book
will benefit not just practitioners and trainers in Chinese martial
art but effectively all people who read it. This book is not only
going to be the martial art book of the year, but the martial art
book of the 21st century.This is the first martial art book written
by martial art practitioners who have thorough understanding of
both physics and actual fighting, with a solid background in
Chinese culture. All the three authors of the book have over 40
years of extensive experience each in Chinese martial art. In
contrast to conventional Chinese martial art scripts, this book is
written by three Chinese authors in plain and vivid English, which
is both filled with true understanding of the unique part of
Chinese culture and tuned to the cognitive habits of the
westerners.

Yun Yun lives in a small West China town with her widowed father
and an uncle, aunt and older cousin who live nearby. One day, her
once-secure world begins to fall apart. Through her eyes, we
observe her cousin, Zhang Qing, keen to dive into the excitements
of adolescence, but clashing with repressive parents. Ensuing
tensions reveal that the relationships between the two families are
founded on a terrible lie.
