Summary: Long, long ago, in a small town in ancient China, there lived an honest and respectful man called Tuan. Tuan had lost his parents and grew up with his kind neighbours. He was, however, lonely and looked hard for a wife, but even the matchmaker couldn't help him. One night, however, Tuan's luck changed. And in this story, we meet White Wave, the Dinner that Cooked Itself and other Chinese legends.
