About This Item
Honolulu.: University of Hawai'i Press.. 2001.. Translated by Hanming Chen. 157pp, paperback. A fictional work in which "Liang Xiaosheng, a former Red guard and one of China's most accomplished satirists, follows his compatriots as they make their way through the morass of petty corruption, bureaucratic back-biting, and opportunism that is the new New China. In a tone deceptively light and humorous, Liang expresses the financial and sexual frustration, pathetic mediocrity, and impotent resentment of aging 'educated youth' rendered increasingly superfluous by the brash economic dynamism of China's new entrepreneurial class."
