  The ancient story of King Goujian, a psychologically complex fifth-century BCE monarch, spoke powerfully to the Chinese during China's turbulent twentieth century. This title connects the story to the major traumas of the last century, exploring why such stories often remain sealed up within a culture, unknown to outsiders.
