The corpse walker : real life stories, China from the bottom up / Liao Yiwu ; translated from the Chinese and with an introduction by Wen Huang. by Liao, Yiwu, 1958- New York : Pantheon Books, 2008. Subjects Working class -- China.   Social structure -- China.   China -- Social conditions.   China -- Economic conditions. ISBN:  9780375425424 037542542X Description:  xiv, 320 p. ; 25 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  A compilation of twenty-seven extraordinary oral histories that opens a window, unlike any other, onto the lives of ordinary, often outcast, Chinese men and women. Liao Yiwu (one of the best-known writers in China because he is also one of the most censored) chose his subjects from the bottom of Chinese society: people for whom the "new" China--the China of economic growth and globalization--is no more beneficial than the old. Here are a professional mourner, a trafficker in humans, a leper, an abbot, a retired government official, a former landowner, a mortician, a feng shui master, a former Red Guard, a political prisoner, a village teacher, a blind street musician, a Falun Gong practitioner, and many others--people who have been battered by life but who have managed to retain their dignity, their humor, and their essential, complex humanity. Liao's interviews were given from 1990 to 2003.--From amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.85095 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.85095 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.85095 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.85095 Li Checked In Add Copy to MyList
