Book Description
Many books describe the experiences of an American traveler in China, and still others describe the experiences of Chinese in their native country. But this book is unique. It is a nonfiction love story, not a travelogue--an East-West romance that focuses on the lovers' responses to absurd bureaucratic challenges during an other, wise idyllic courtship. After the first part, narrated by the American, the authors alternate rather than merge their viewpoints in a single voice. They tell their story from the different perspec, tives of a Western man and a Chinese woman. As they work through their cultural differences and the obstacles frustrating their desire to marry, the two storytellers mature. Novelists have traced teenagers coming of age, but here is a nonfic, tion account of growth achieved by a middle-aged couple. They learn from each other, from their allies in Beijing, even from the bureau, crats, as they move toward an emotional and sexual climax. This memoir has a fictional shape!

Book Description
A historical novel depicting China's shocking transformation from the Great Leap Forward to the Great Famine, Canadian Chinese author Song Liang's "Paradise" is a masterpiece. Set in a small mountain village in China's Shandong Province from 1958 to 1961, the novel features a group of ordinary farmers and their extraordinary struggle to survive in the political and social turmoil caused by the Communist Party's various radical policies. Under the leadership of Chairman Zedong Mao, whose ambition was for China to "surpass Britain and America" and for himself to become the "savior of all mankind," the Communist Party launched the Great Leap Forward campaign to promote industrialization and collectivization. All private farming was prohibited, and all the farming tools and cooking utensils made of metal were confiscated in an attempt to produce steel using the so-called "backyard furnaces." A number of crop experiments were widely conducted, with disastrous results. Worse, in fear of being condemned as lacking the "revolutionary spirit," party cadres (who doubled as local leaders) falsely reported ever-higher grain production figures to the government while communal kitchens across the nation increasingly ran out of food. In the resulting Great Famine - which the Chinese Government conveniently describes as a by-product of Three Years of Natural Disasters - it is estimated that between 20 and 43 million people perished, either having starved to death or were prosecuted as "counter-revolutionaries" at the hands of party cadres and their faithful followers, a great portion of whom consisted of local thugs. Again under the leadership of Chairman Mao, who sought to maintain face as a great leader of not only China but also the Third World, the Chinese Government refused foreign aid while continuing to contribute millions of tons of food to Cuba and various countries in Eastern Europe and Africa. Meanwhile, cases of cannibalism occurred across China... Having witnessed these historical events, Liang spent two decades composing "Paradise" as a 400,000-word epic tale. As his characters fall from the "Socialist Paradise" to a "Hell on Earth" where neighbors, friends and family members turn on each other in struggles for political power and even potential food source, we see the horror of humanity slowly being strangled and mutilated in the name of political correctness. Yet, strangely, it is in such depth of ugliness and unspeakable despair that hope keeps on thriving. By finally publishing "Paradise" after a lifetime of hard work, it remains the author's hope that exposing the true nature of tragedies can help to prevent them from happening again. While readers cannot help but smile at the courageous yet single-minded attempt of the many men and women depicted in this book to live an ordinary life, "Paradise" is an extraordinary story that will make you cry.

Book Description
"A magnificent tapestry . . . a story that reaches beyond China into our world and time: a story of faith, hope, passion, and a fatal grandiosity."--Washington Post Book World Whether read for its powerful account of the largest uprising in human history, or for its foreshadowing of the terrible convulsions suffered by twentieth-century China, or for the narrative power of a great historian at his best, God's Chinese Son must be read. At the center of this history of China's Taiping rebellion (1845-64) stands Hong Xiuquan, a failed student of Confucian doctrine who ascends to heaven in a dream and meets his heavenly family: God, Mary, and his older brother, Jesus. He returns to earth charged to eradicate the "demon-devils," the alien Manchu rulers of China. His success carries him and his followers to the heavenly capital at Nanjing, where they rule a large part of south China for more than a decade. Their decline and fall, wrought by internal division and the unrelenting military pressures of the Manchus and the Western powers, carry them to a hell on earth. Twenty million Chinese are left dead.

Book Description
Excerpt from China, During the War and Since the Peace The two portions of this work, though con secutive in point of time, and so far connected, are materially different in other respects. The first is, in fact, a Chinese History, founded on native documents not intended for our information; the second, the results of diplomatic transactions and personal ex perience during a four years' administration. A mass of Chinese official papers, captured or otherwise collected during the war, seemed, worthy of a better fate than to become the prey of worms, always peculiarly active in a hot climate. Dr. Gutzlaff, by my desire, fur nished a regular series of translations and ah stracts during the years 1844 and 1845.
