Description:
|
In this selection of ten short stories, Chinese American Te-Ping Chen offers readers vignettes of life in contemporary China and the diaspora.
From the restriction of personal freedoms to social mobility in a rural village; from the generational divide to repressed memories of the Cultural Revolution, these stories are original, thought-provoking and poignant in their depiction of the most populous nation on earth.

Quite a few didn't engage with this book, but others found it thought provoking, and my 25 year old son and I LOVED it. Beautiful, easy writing. Stories that you reflect on, and one a night for 10 days was perfect. |
