'The Sister Rice Festival' is a big day for the Miao people in China, when one ethnic group exchanges gifts and bids well-wishes. It is a rich and diverse ethnic minority festival, which is away from the mainstream of more popular Chinese festivals. This book - written as an English-Chinese bilingual text - introduces in detail the origin and traditions of this special festival. The book also presents many epic legends and touching stories behind 'The Sister Rice Festival.'
