Dear Mike,
It's great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese literature.
The set phrase you asked me means trying to help seedlings grow by pulling them up. There is a story behind it. A man in the Song State was so anxious about the slow growth of his seedlings that he pulled them upward one by one to help the seedlings grow much taller all at once. Without doubt, all of the seedlings dried up and died. This set phrase means that growing against the law of development in things and being overanxious for quick results will make things worse.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear_Jim,
Knowing that you are interested in Chinese literature, I am more than excited because I am a literature lover myself.
I strongly recommend a wellknown Chinese book entitled The Ordinary World to you. The book was written by a famous Chinese writer, Lu Yao. It centers on the life and destinies of three families of Sun, Tian and Jin in a village. It pictures the tough process of building up a better and wealthier life during the very beginning of reform and openness in China. Reading the book, you will be greatly affected by the courage and spirit of the main characters. That's why I make this recommendation.
I am looking forward to your comments on it.
Yours,
Li_Hua
