Will the Boat Sink the Water?: The Life of China's Peasants | |
Wu Chuntao and Chen Guidi undertook a three-year survey of what had happened to the peasants in one of the poorest provinces, Anhui, asking the question: have the peasants been betrayed by the revolution undertaken in their name by Mao and his successors? The result is a brilliant narrative of life among the poor, a vivid portrait of the petty dictators that run China's villages and counties, and the consequences of their bullying despotism on the people they administer.
Told principally through four dramatic narratives, Will the Boat Sink the Water? gives voice to the unheard masses and looks beneath the gloss of the new China to find the truth about its vast population of rural poor.
作者简介 Chen Guidi and his wife Wu Chuntao were born into peasant families. Guidi received the Lu Xun Literature Achievement Award--one of the most important literary prizes in China. Both authors have received awards from the journal Contemporary Age for groundbreaking reportage.
