WINNER OF THE TELEGRAPH FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 Towards the beginning of the twenty-first century, Borussia Dortmund were on the verge of going out of business. Now they are an international phenomenon - one of the most popular clubs and fastest-growing football brands in the world. Every fortnight, an incredible number of foreigners eschew their own clubs and domestic leagues and travel to Dortmund to watch football, while people from all corners of the world dream of doing the same - of standing on the largest terrace in the world, the Yellow Wall. How did this happen? How could a club that hasn't won a European trophy in twenty years so thoroughly capture people's imaginations? Building the Yellow Wall tells the story of Dortmund's roller-coaster ride from humble beginnings and lean decades to the revolution under Jürgen Klopp and subsequent amazing success and popularity. But it also tells the story of those people who have done as much for the club's profile as any player, coach or chairman - Dortmund's unique supporters.

The Northern Song poet He Zhu is best known for his lyrics (ci) but also produced shi poetry of subtlety, wit, and feeling. This study examines the latter as a response to the options available to a late-eleventh century writer in the pentametrical and heptametrical forms of Ancient Verse, Regulated Verse, and Quatrains. Numerous comparisons are made with Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Du Fu, and other important writers. In a major advance over previous methodologies, the author uses a clear system of metrical notation to show how sound patterns reveal the poet's artistic and emotional intentions. This innovation and the author's other meticulous explorations of He Zhu's artistry allow us to experience Chinese poetry as never before. From the reader's report: "not just an excellent study of an individual poet but also a model of reading the language of classical Chinese poetry. [..] opens up a world of interpretive territory heretofore seldom explored."

CHAMPION PART 35 Chapter 1010: Human Graveyard! Outside the door of the inner courtyard, a man leaned against the wall, his hands wrapped around a purple halberd. The black-clothed, black-haired hair was both flowing and loose, unruffled, the corner of the mouth contained a faint smile, a slightly evil smile. Duong Diep observed the black-haired man and said: "Lau Thien Tieu?" The black-haired man observed Duong Diep, a faint smile opened at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I didn't expect that our Thanh Chau would produce someone who could use the strength of a Half-Saint to kill a Saint, no." bad, come, let me see what level of strength you have!” The black-haired man's voice fell, the long halberd in his hand left his hand, and shot towards Duong Diep Palace. The speed of the long halberd cannot be said to be very fast, it must be said that it is still a bit slow, but Duong Diep is flying like that, there is no way to escape, the feeling of certain death is certain!
