When the three novellas in The King of Trees were published separately in China in the 1980s, Ah Cheng fever spread across the country. Never before had a fiction writer dealt with the Cultural Revolution in such Daoist-Confucian terms, discarding Mao-speak, and mixing both traditional and vernacular elements with an aesthetic that emphasized not the hardships and miseries of those years, but the joys of close, meaningful friendships. In The King of Chess, a student s obsession with finding worthy chess opponents symbolizes his pursuit of the dao; in The King of Children made into an award-winning film by Chen Kaige, the director of Farewell My Concubine an educated youth is sent to teach at an impoverished village school where one boy s devotion to learning is so great he is ready to spend 500 days copying his teacher s dictionary; and in the title novella a peasant s innate connection to a giant primeval tree takes a tragic turn when a group of educated youth arrive to clear the mountain forest. As moving and enduring as the best of Jack London or Knut Hamsun, The King of Trees is as relevant today as it will be tomorrow."Binding Type: Paperback

Impressive Sound Deadening Solution with Enhanced Audio Quality
Model: NewSLS50_52
I recently purchased the Siless 50 mil (1.3mm) 52 sqft Car Sound Deadening mat, and I am delighted with the results it has delivered. Right from the start, I was impressed with the packaging, which ensured the product arrived in perfect condition.
One of the standout features of this sound deadening mat is its ease of use. It was a breeze to cut and modify according to my specific needs. Whether I needed to cover specific areas or customize the size, the mat accommodated my requirements effortlessly. This flexibility made the installation process a breeze.
The Siless Sound Deadening mat has proven to be highly effective in reducing outside noise within my vehicle. With just a half cabin install, I noticed a significant reduction of approximately 10 decibels, making my driving experience much quieter and more comfortable. The mat acted as a reliable barrier against external noise, allowing me to enjoy a more peaceful ride.
Furthermore, the sound quality from my vehicle's audio system experienced a noticeable improvement. The Siless mat effectively dampened vibrations and minimized resonance, resulting in cleaner and more refined audio output. The mat's thickness of 50 mil (1.3mm) ensures optimal sound absorption, contributing to its effectiveness in creating a quieter and more enjoyable driving environment. I can now appreciate the full range of tones and enjoy a more immersive music experience during my drives.
Overall, I highly recommend the Siless 50 mil Car Sound Deadening mat for anyone seeking a reliable and effective solution to reduce noise and enhance audio quality in their vehicle. The easy cutting and modifying process, along with the excellent packaging, contribute to a seamless installation experience. With a significant reduction in outside noise and an improvement in sound system performance, this sound deadening mat has exceeded my expectations.

Quality sound deadening that adheres to body panels well. You can easily hear the vibration reduction after just the first piece by tapping on the body panel before and after.
