Book excerpt: Seth Rosenfeld is a recent college graduate from New York, teaching English in 1980s Shanghai. There he meets Lan Ming, an engaging and sagacious traveler from the provinces, who stirs Seth's unexplored homosexual desires. Lan Ming seems to be everything Seth is not: unguarded, spontaneous, and at ease with his sexuality. They fall in love in the shadows and back alleys of a Shanghai under transformation, and also under the watchful eye of the Public Security Bureau.But Lan Ming has secrets. How does he stay in Shanghai without rousing the suspicions of his "work unit" back home? Who are the street friends he won't let Seth meet? Especially, where does his money come from?Seth's search for the truth about Lan Ming takes him on a personal journey-into Shanghai's secretive gay culture, into distant Chinese provinces, into his own psyche-as he discovers some devastating truths about his very nature.And just as Seth is getting closer to uncovering the mystery of Lan Ming, Shanghai erupts in anti-government protests, and the ever-looming Public Security Bureau closes in on the pair's illegal relationship?

Book Synopsis Bird Talk and Other Stories by Xu Xu by : Xu Xu
Download or read book Bird Talk and Other Stories by Xu Xu written by Xu Xu and published by Stone Bridge Press, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing the works of a major Chinese writer—liberal, cosmopolitan, and lyrically exotic—once banned but now embraced, and newly "discovered" in the West. Xu Xu 徐訏 (1908-1980) was one of the most widely read Chinese authors of the 1930s to 1960s. His popular urban gothic tales, his exotic spy fiction, and his quasi-existentialist love stories full of nostalgia and melancholy offer today’s readers an unusual glimpse into China’s turbulent twentieth century. These translations--spanning a period of some thirty years, from 1937 until 1965--bring to life some of Xu Xu’s most representative short fictions from prewar Shanghai and postwar Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Afterword illustrates that Xu Xu’s idealistic tendencies in defiance of the politicization of art exemplify his affinity with European romanticism and link his work to a global literary modernity.

Download or read book Shanghai written by Stephen Grace and published by Sentient+ORM. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shanghai is the most modern and dynamic city in China. In preparation for hosting the World Expo 2010, a World's Fair in the grand tradition of international fairs and expositions, the megalopolis embarked on an overhaul to transform itself from the "Pearl of the Orient" into the "City of the Future." Here, the world's tallest buildings soar, the planet's longest bridges span toxic waterways, and the fastest train on earth rockets the city from its storied past toward a future that seems, by turns, either as bright or as hideous as the lights that set the hazy sky aglow each night. At a time when interest in China has seen a sharp increase that shows no signs of abating, Shanghai places China's development and its effects on the world into context by explaining how the country arrived where it is today and why it is building massive infrastructure projects with tremendous social and environmental impact. Shanghai provides an intimate look inside a mega-city heaving with change and offers essential insight into the challenges of remaining human in an increasingly urbanized world.
