QuickRead presents a summary of "China in Ten Words" by Yu Hua:
Author Yu Hua presents ten essays based on the ten words he feels best sum up the modern state of his country, and his own life experience.
How do you define a country? Writer Yu Hua chooses to describe his country with an analysis of ten words. Words like "revolution", "people", "grassroots", and "writing". These words become the central theme of ten essays exploring the cultural identity and changing landscape of his country.
Hua draws on sociology, economics, and his own experiences as a dentist, novelist, and participant in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests to paint a picture of China larger in scope and depth than we might usually see in the west.
