Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Unknown China: A Record of the Observations, Adventures and Experiences of a Pioneer Missionary During a Prolonged Sojourn Amongst the Wild and Unknown Nosu Tribe of Western China In another part of the room squatted the brother of the girl with the long pipe and coral ear-rings, and the Nosu chief who had guided the Englishman into the heart of the country, where dwell the wild hillmen so dreaded by the Western Chinese. These two men were in deep conversa tion, and though it was all in a tongue foreign to me, I heard them several times use the words Nhe chah-chah, and that being the name which the Nosu tribesmen had given to the stranger who had come among them, I knew that the conversation had some reference to me. I surmised that no harm was meant to the guest, for they smiled too pleasantly, and looked too good-tempered for persons who were plotting evil.

IN UNKNOWN CHINA CHAPTER I THE GIRL WITH THE CORAL BEADS SHE sat on the earth floor one side of the blazing wood Are, and I sat on a black bearskin on the other side of the same wood fire. Neither spoke a word to the other. She was a young girl of eighteen years of age, and was smoking a long pipe. From her ears hung strings of amber and coral beads, from eighteen inches to.two feet long, and every now and again she shaded her jeyes from the blaze or smoke of the fire. Constant proximity to a smoky fire had evidently made her eyes somewhat re. Now and again we glanced at each other, but as neither could speak the other's language, and we had only that day met, there was not much advance made towards jfriendship. As I was leaving again the next morning, it fseemed very likely that we should slip out of each other's (lives without even a word having passed between us. She would go her way as the daughter of a great Nosu chieftain, whose home was among the mighty hills of that independent land in Western China, which has never yet been conquered Jby the Chinese overlords. Perhaps now and again she would Iremember with faint interest the Englishman, who was the i first European to penetrate into the mysterious land where ishe dwelt. But while we were blinking at the fire, and I B 17 I . l was wondering why bearskins were not padded, and why they were almost as hard as the earth floor, others were plotting to bring the two who sat by the fire closer together. In another part of the room squatted the brother of the girl with the long pipe and coral ear-rings, and the Nosu chief who had guided the Englishman into the heart of the country, where dwell the wild hillmen so dreaded by the Western Chinese.

Book excerpt: From one of China’s most acclaimed writers: a unique, intimate look at the Chinese experience over the last several decades. Framed by ten phrases common in the Chinese vernacular, China in Ten Words uses personal stories and astute analysis to reveal as never before the world’s most populous yet oft-misunderstood nation. In "Disparity," for example, Yu Hua illustrates the expanding gaps that separate citizens of the country. In "Copycat," he depicts the escalating trend of piracy and imitation as a creative new form of revolutionary action. And in "Bamboozle," he describes the increasingly brazen practices of trickery, fraud, and chicanery that are, he suggests, becoming a way of life at every level of society. Witty, insightful, and courageous, this is a refreshingly candid vision of the "Chinese miracle" and all of its consequences.

Download or read book Wild Swans written by Jung Chang and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-20 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of three generations in twentieth-century China that blends the intimacy of memoir and the panoramic sweep of eyewitness history—a bestselling classic in thirty languages with more than ten million copies sold around the world, now with a new introduction from the author. An engrossing record of Mao’s impact on China, an unusual window on the female experience in the modern world, and an inspiring tale of courage and love, Jung Chang describes the extraordinary lives and experiences of her family members: her grandmother, a warlord’s concubine; her mother’s struggles as a young idealistic Communist; and her parents’ experience as members of the Communist elite and their ordeal during the Cultural Revolution. Chang was a Red Guard briefly at the age of fourteen, then worked as a peasant, a “barefoot doctor,” a steelworker, and an electrician. As the story of each generation unfolds, Chang captures in gripping, moving—and ultimately uplifting—detail the cycles of violent drama visited on her own family and millions of others caught in the whirlwind of history.

Book excerpt: A revelatory account of what is really happening to China's Uyghurs 'Intimate, sombre, and damning... compelling.' Financial Times 'Chilling... Horrifying.' Spectator 'Invaluable.' Telegraph In China's vast northwestern region, more than a million and a half Muslims have vanished into internment camps and associated factories. Based on hours of interviews with camp survivors and workers, thousands of government documents, and over a decade of research, Darren Byler, one of the leading experts on Uyghur society uncovers their plight. Revealing a sprawling network of surveillance technology supplied by firms in both China and the West, Byler shows how the country has created an unprecedented system of Orwellian control. A definitive account of one of the world's gravest human rights violations, In the Camps is also a potent warning against the misuse of technology and big data.
