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 widely regarded as one of Chinas greatest living writers 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 Chinese miracle and its consequences, and a unique perspective on one of the worlds least understood nations.
