A courageous and intimate memoir of China framed in ten telling words.
People. Leader. Reading. Writing. Revolution. Grassroots. Through these and other common vernacular words and phrases, Yu Hua โ widely regarded as one of Chinaโs greatest living writers โ tells powerful personal stories of the Chinese experience from the Cultural Revolution to the 2010s. With wit, insight and courage, he presents a refreshingly candid vision of the โChinese miracleโ and its consequences, and a unique perspective on one of the worldโs least understood nations.
