by Yeow Kok -. Lau (Author)
Liezi (列子 c.450-375BC), Laozi and Zhuangzi are the 3 pillars of philosophical Daoism.
A lesser known philosopher among the trio, we have seen few translations of his work.
The Liezi text of 139 short amusing stories in 8 chapters, are contemplative on life and death.
Tales, Kuafu Chased Sun and Yukong Moved Mountains are often taught in primary school.

His stories are vivid, full of marvels, often humorous, and reflective of our Delusions.
