| 520 | _a"Chinese Folk-Lore Tales" by Rev. J. Macgowan is a collection of traditional Chinese stories written in the early 20th century. The tales reflect cultural beliefs, moral lessons, and themes of righteousness, love, and destiny, often involving supernatural elements and historical figures. The opening chapters introduce characters such as the virtuous mandarin Shih-Kung and the tragic widow Ho, setting the stage for stories steeped in moral dilemmas that explore justice and the divine. The beginning of "Chinese Folk-Lore Tales" reveals the first story, focusing on Shih-Kung, a highly respected mandarin who, after a strange encounter with a widow dressed in mourning, suspects foul play in her husband's death. Intrigued by her suspicious behavior and the eerie wind surrounding her, Shih-Kung takes it upon himself to investigate the circumstances of the man's demise, leading to a confrontation with the widow and the unearthing of dark truths. As Shih-Kung navigates the complexities of the case, themes of responsibility, honor, and the quest for justice are poignantly illustrated through his actions and decisions.
