China in Ten Words

By
Yu Hua
Prelude
A powerful, intimate look at the Chinese experience from the years
of the Cultural Revolution to the present day, told through personal
stories from one of China's most acclaimed authors. Framed by ten
words and phrases common in the Chinese vernacular, China in Ten
Words reveals as never before the world's most populous yet often
misunderstood nation. Characterised by Yu Hua's trademark wit,
insight, and courage, he presents a refreshingly candid vision of the
'Chinese miracle' and all its consequences, from the singularly
invaluable perspective of a leading writer living in China.
