小说记述了一个发生在七十年代末陕西省延安市一个叫做杨家沟的小山庄里的故事。毛泽东领导的军队，在这里经过十三年后，力量不断发展壮大，最后武装推翻了中华民国政府，建立了中华人民共和国，所以就把延安称作"革命圣地"，让全国的百姓朝拜。自从一九四九年中华人民共和国成立以后，中共的高级领导人虽然没回过延安，但在文化大革命期间，无数的"知识青年"却被送到这里，目的是"扎根农村，建设延安"，但是，这些青年人来到这里后，都想法设法地返回了原来的城市，这种政治运动，对那里人们的生活、甚至他们自己都没有任何的改变，故事中的主人公就是其中的一个。故事通过他的经历，见证了在邓小平所推动的中国社会大改革时代中，不同阶层人物的思想意识和行为的变化、以及物质丰富后对人们精神和行为上所带来的冲击。 The novel retells a story that happened in a small village called Yangjiagou in Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province in the late 1970s. Occupied Yan'an for 13 years, the army led by Mao Zedong continued to grow in strength. In the end, it overthrew the Chinese National Government and established the People's Republic of China. Therefore, Yan'an was called the "Revolutionary Holy Land" for the people of the whole country to worship. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, although the senior leaders of the Chinese Communist Party have never returned to Yan'an, during the Cultural Revolution, many "educated youths" were sent here with the goal of "rooting in the countryside and building Yan'an". However--for many people, the revolutionary movement had failed to change their lives. The protagonist in this novel is one of these adolescents who wished to leave Yan'an despite all the efforts of their leaders to keep them there. Through his experience, the story has witnessed the changes in the ideology and behavior of people of different classes in the era of great social change promoted by Deng Xiaoping, as well as the impact on people's spirit and behaviors after material enrichment.

"The original graphic novel Rewild published by Dark Horse Comics as part of Berger Books"--

Fantastically illustrated, this book will appeal to kids and adults alike. "Welcome to the Zuniverse" carries with it a vital message for every individual, big or small. It is a space-themed parable for responsible toileting. The cultivation of a kind, thoughtful self begins with the most basic of things: our everyday lavatory visits. Disciplining ourselves in the simple cleaning up of our own little messes is the beginning of a journey towards true greatness. You cannot achieve great things unless you master little things first. Taking responsibility for our daily toileting habits is indeed the first step to greatness. We truly are our own worst enemy. Slaying the giant of self-centredness within is the absolute key to our quest for a better self and a better world. Yes, we can be better, starting with the humble restroom. Isn't that how we all begin our day? "Welcome to the Zuniverse" is a result of my observations as a parent. Through the passage of parenthood, I realised that there is nothing instinctive about cleaning up one's own little messes after using the toilet. When my kids had their friends over for play dates, it further confirmed my belief that these things have to be taught; responsible toileting is simply not going to happen out of thin air! So I had to conduct training sessions for my kids to learn how to use toilet paper to wipe off "over-spurts" and how to use cleaning agents and "toilet brushees" to clear off stubborn "stickies". Obviously there were times where I entered the bathroom and still find unpleasant residues and that is where the countless reminders came in. I wished I had a book like "Welcome to the Zuniverse" where I could hand it to them and empower them with a standard term of reference. With the book, my kids would now know exactly what I am referring to when I tell them: "Hey, I still see over-spurts on the floor!" Even better, when I spot something amiss, all I need to do is simply go up to them and gently say: "Welcome to the Zuniverse" and they will get it. Just mentioning that alone, they will get it and start cleaning up their own little messes. Even though "Welcome to the Zuniverse" is designed as a children's book, it is really meant for all ages. Truth be told, it is not just the children that need to be taught, many people of varied ages too, need a lesson on responsible toileting. Ultimately, the central core of such a lesson is really about being kind and other-centred. With "Welcome to the Zuniverse," such lessons can be communicated with both clarity and subtlety.
