1 comments about Wang Shi Bing Bu Ru Yan (The Past Is Not As Foggy).
- Ms. Zhang recalled the history and lives of several very important people in a strange time period in Chinese history. It shows her humanitarian and honorable spirits in recollecting the stories. Her subtle touch as a woman and a poet lead the readers into the real lives of these people whose names normally appeared in big fonts in the newspapers. In her book, they are real human beings with emotions, with pain, affections, mistakes and regrets.
It is not biographical nor historical, but it helps younger readers to remember the values before the communists and the persecutions of the intellectuals by a low-classed manner during 1957-1979. I applaude the publication of this book and wish Ms. Zhang a long and healthy life in her old ages to help the government correct more wrongs they commited in the past 50 years.

1 comments about The Invention of Li Yu.
- I read this book for a Chinese intellectual history class a long while ago. I was a bit put off by the price, but the book is worth it. Hanan's translations of Li Yu's wonderful pieces are absolutely beautiful, and so are his depiction of Li Yu's incorrigible attitude towards life, love, sex, and his patrons. Hanan made me fall in love with Li Yu's charm and wit. I recommend the book for anyone interested in Chinese intellectual thought, or anyone simply interested in a rich work of scholarship. Hanan's work is a good example of how Chinese intellectual history should be done.
