第一次由中国作家描绘自由女神, 神圣的火花 : 罗琦儿与自由女神 这本书颂扬了忠诚,
善良, 勇敢, 坚忍的品质, 以及正义战胜邪恶的信念, 是一本引人入胜的童话小说。
Rogel, a little angel from the Paradise Star, was
handsome, gentle and brave. By chance he met Kally, who had een
imprisoned in a heavenly lake for three thousand years because he
wanted to conquer the Earth. Having realized his folly, he was now
truly repentant. Rogel and Yoyo, a red-haired fox, started their
journey to look for the Goddess of Liberty who had the power to
free Kally. On their way, they defeated various kinds of demons,
devils and ghosts by virtue of their wisdom and bravery. They saved
many kind-hearted people—kings, princesses, dwarfs, and poor
villagers—and received their help in return.
At last, Rogel, Yoyo and Hont, a little prince from
Moon Land whom they met on the way, arrived at Liberty Island, but
a snake fiend was plotting against them, trying to prevent Rogel
from achieving his noble goal. How will Rogel ignite the Goddess’s
torch with a holy spark? And will he succeed in obtaining the golden
key to freedom from the Goddess of Liberty?
The first book ever written by a Chinese author on
the Statue of Liberty, The Holy Spark advances themes of faithfulness,
kindheartedness, bravery, forbearance, and the triumph of good over
evil. Inspiring and engaging, “it is perfect for young readers
and will keep them highly entertained for hours.”

关于作者
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
| |
Yu Li was a designer and manager of a glassware company in
Jilin province in northeast China. In 1986, she was inspired
to write a children’s book about the Statue of Liberty
when she saw Lady Liberty on Chinese television covering the
monument’s centennial. She spent several years writing
the fantasy-filled novel The Holy Spark and had its Chinese
edition published in 1993.
|
With the help
of an American diplomat in China, Yu Li came to the United
States in 2001 to present a special “deluxe” edition
of the book to the Ellis Island Museum in New York, which
inducted it into its permanent collection. Designed by Yu
Li and signed by United Nations officials and representatives
from more than 180 countries, the “deluxe” edition
of The Holy Spark is the only item the museum has ever sourced
from China since World War II.
Yu Li now lives in New York, working on her new books. |
