This is an engagingly written memoir, originally published in
English in 1990, by one of China's finest writers. Born in 1910,
Hsiao Ch'ien joined the Communist Youth League and participated in
demonstrations against the government before working with Edgar
Snow as a translator and publishing his own fiction. He has worked
in England and America, becoming friends with E.M. Forster and
Bertrand Russell and reported the Nurembourg trials. After
returning to China in 1949, he was soon in trouble with the
authorities and served 16 years at hard labour. He was formally
rehabilitated in 1979 and is today working on the translation into
Chinese of James Joyce's Ulysses.
