To Survive is Victory
‘In those days we dedicated our whole lives to The Party. We put it first, before anything else, whether that was family, love, or even life itself. I will tell you a fact about the path my life has taken – to survive is victory!’ This is the true account of the life of Lin Xiangbei, during a century of tumultuous changes in China. Lin was born in 1918 in Yunan, a small town in north-east Sichuan Province. In 1938, under the influence of a remarkable figure later known as ‘The Double Gun Woman’, Lin became a committed Communist. He worked tirelessly as an underground agent, believing the ideals of Communism would bring a better, fairer society to the people of China. But in 1957 Li...
China Witness
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 China's 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, modernization, Westernization - and have survived into the 21st century. We meet everyday heroes, now in their seventies, eighties and nineties, 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'.
Where Chiang Kai-shek Lost China
“A masterful contribution not simply to the history of the civil war, but also to the history of 20th century China.” —Steven I. Levine author, Anvil of Victory: The Communist Revolution in Manchuria, 1945-1948) The civil war in China that ended in the 1949 victory of Mao Zedong’s Communist forces was a major blow to U.S. interests in the Far East and led to heated recriminations about how China was “lost.” Despite their significance, there have been few studies in English of the war’s major campaigns. The Liao-Shen Campaign was the final act in the struggle for control of China’s northeast. After the Soviet defeat of Japan in Manchuria, Communist Chinese and then Nationalist...

Le testimoni silenziose
Fin dai tempi di Marco Polo la Cina appare ai nostri occhi come un «altrove» lontano, smisurato ed enigmatico, fatto di strade gremite e odori penetranti, di tessuti preziosi e bandiere rosse, di scritte aggraziate e indecifrabili come i volti dei suoi abitanti. Un gigante rimasto assopito e isolato per millenni mentre l'Occidente si affannava a rincorrere il mito della crescita; un gigante che adesso si è svegliato e che, con un balzo, sembra aver annullato ogni distanza, capovolto ogni riferimento. Forse, allora, proprio in mezzo a cambiamenti così epocali è venuto il momento di chiederci: cosa sappiamo veramente della Cina? Ma soprattutto: cosa sanno di sé i cinesi? Quale coscienza ...

Dangerous Relation
She thought that they had a simple contractual relationship, but she didn't expect that the usually cold and detached man would tyrannically prop up a sunny day for her. She thought that she would have the best of blessings, but reality gave her a harsh slap on the face. Lu Xiangnan sneered coldly, "Lin Xiaowei, leave me and you will have nothing left to lose. If you leave, don't ever come back." "I know." Four years later, Hua Li returned with her own kingdom. At the business gathering, she saw the man who once branded himself in the marrow of his bones, bringing his lovely wife along with him. Just as she turned around, he pressed her against the wall. "Didn't you say that you won't be able to come back?" She smiled as she looked at him. "The current me has the qualifications to fight alongside you."
