About This Novel
Folktales are the crystallization of ancient wisdom, the treasure of national culture, and the spiritual wealth of all mankind. Wanma Tseden is best known as a film director, secondly as a novelist, and as a lesser-known creative identity, as a literary translator. The "Collection of Ruyi Stories" compiled and translated by him is based on the Tibetan folklore corpse language stories passed down from generation to generation about the Ruyi treasure corpse that can make the world full of gold and silver and extend the life of a hundred years. It contains twenty-four touching stories told by the Ruyi treasure corpse to the person who carries the corpse, Dejue Zangbu. The Prince in Bird Clothes, the Pig-Head Divination Master, the Devil Brothers, the Soul-Transferring Technique... Each and every exciting story provoked Dejue Sambu to ask questions frequently. The Ruyi Bodhisattva used this method to escape back to the cave again and again, and Dejue Sambu also started over again. The wonderful stories told by the Ruyi Bodhisattva were passed down one after another, which can be called a miniature Tibetan version of "One Thousand and One Nights".
