This is the chronicle of a village on the northern China plains during the post-1978 economic reforms.

Corepda has released this interesting game for iPhone & iPod touch. This is the most fun and solid naval combat game for this platform. There are two ways to play the game: the “voyage” and skirmish. The voyage is a series of 30 short stages with three difficulty levels in which you try to become the “pirate king.” In game, you basically pilot your ship and destroy all enemy ships and cannon emplacements, but you always get that satisfied feeling when something blows up! There is also a place to post your high scores online after you finish the voyage campaign.
