Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained [EPUB ebook] 

This is a picture book about a traditional Chinese idiom story. This book is part of the Chinese Classic Traditional Story Anime Series. "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained" originally referred to the idea that no one can catch a baby tiger without entering the tiger’s den. Now, it metaphorically implies that it is impossible to achieve success without personally experiencing risks and challenges. Presented in a combination of colorful illustrations and text, this book tells the story behind the idiom "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained". The story revolves around the Eastern Han Dynasty when Ban Chao and Guo Xun were sent on a mission to the Western Regions. The King of Shanshan warmly welcomed them. However, Xiongnu envoys also arrived in the Western Regions and sowed discord, causing the King of Shanshan to become cold towards Ban Chao’s delegation. With the spirit of "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained", Ban Chao made a bold plan to eliminate the Xiongnu envoys, thereby winning the trust and friendship of the King of Shanshan.
