München, Germany., November 11, 2022 - Today, Sally Feng, writer and China expert, releases her Urban Fantasy novel "The Glint of the Luopan" which aims to give a deeper insight into Chinese culture. It tells the story of Lai Fang, a Chinese immigrant living in New York who has lost her memory and is now looking for her father. Along the way, she rediscovers her native language and stumbles upon a secret society in China that claims to have found an effective solution for overpopulation. "I was looking for a way to give people insights about Chinese culture and entertain them at the same time," Sally Feng says. "China has received a lot of bad press in recent years. Over 60 percent of people say that they're skeptical about China. I want to show them what a wonderful ancient and rich culture it has. Daoism, for example, plays a major role in the novel, the whole magical system is oriented towards it. Sally Feng has studied Sinology and works as a Chinese translator and editor. "Chinese is, of course, a complex language. It seems to completely defy our usual understanding of how a language works", the author says. "And that is why for me, it is also connected with the fantastic, the supernatural. It is linked to a second strong interest of mine: the paranormal." Accordingly, the protagonist of the novel is also a UFO believer, and she encounters remote viewers, tulpas, and a strange ethereal substance called Jindan on her journey. "It's a quirky mix of Avatar (the series), X-Files, and Twin Peaks, with some similarities to R.F. Kuang's Babel", Sally Feng laughs. " A fantasy story in an Asian setting."
