Description

This book was originally intended to serve as an instruction booklet, teaching people how to play "Mahjong." In this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of mahjong, not only as a game played by people, but also as a social networking instrument and a historical mirror, reflecting the periods of the Second World War, the Cultural Revolution in China, and modern times. It is also a bridge of cross-cultural and cross-generational recollection, communication, and appreciation. Nowadays, mahjong is even recognized as offering substantial therapeutic value for seniors, and has become a game played not only by Chinese people but also by people worldwide. This book also discusses various styles of mahjong and briefly explains how each style is played. The final chapter provides a practical guide on how to play the game in the Cantonese/Hong Kong style.
