Produktbeschreibung
From one of China´s most acclaimed writers, his first work of nonfiction to appear in English: a unique, intimate look at the Chinese experience over the last several decades, told through personal stories and astute analysis that sharply illuminate the country´s meteoric economic and social transformation. Framed by ten phrases common in the Chinese vernacular - people,leader,reading, writing,Lu Xun (one of the most influential Chinese writers of the twentieth century), disparity, revolution,grassroots, copycat, and bamboozle - China in Ten Words reveals as never before the world´s most populous yet oft-misunderstood nation. In Disparity, for example, Yu Hua illustrates the mind-boggling economic gaps that separate citizens of the country. In Copycat, he depicts the escalating trend of piracy and imitation as a creative new form of revolutionary action. And in Bamboozle, he describes the increasingly brazen practices of trickery, fraud, and chicanery that are, he suggests, becoming a way of life at every level of society. Characterized by Yu Hua´s trademark wit, insight, and courage, China in Ten Words is a refreshingly candid vision of the ´Chinese miracle´ and all its consequences, from the singularly invaluable perspective of a writer living in China today.
