China Witness is the personal testimony of a generation whose stories have not yet been told. Here the grandparents and great-grandparents of today sum up in their own words for the first and perhaps the last time the vast changes that have overtaken Chinas people over a century. The book is at once a journey by the author through time and place, and a memorial to those who have lived through war and civil war, persecution, invasion, revolution, famine, modernisation, Westernisation and have survived into the twenty-first century. We meet everyday heroes from across this vast country: a herb woman at a market, retired teachers, a legendary double-gun woman. Red Guards, oil pioneers, an acrobat, a female general, a lantern maker, taxi drivers and more those whose voices, as Xinran says, will help our future understand our past.
Xinrans project is laudable...[with] fascinating perspectives offered on everything from arranged marriages to chairman Mao Metro
This is another excellent book Literary Review
