Synopsis
In this chronicle of one tumultous year in China's love-hate relationship with the West, Orville Schell tells the reader about the Chinese reform movement. It conveys the riptide of enthusiasm for democracy that swept first China's universities, then its intellectuals, and finally its cities. Schell catches the crisis of openness and repression which alternately engulfed the leaders of the People's Republic, as power struggles continued to rage within the Communist Party over the country's future. He takes us on a journey to the very interior of Chinese society - on a student demonstration, describing the purging of dissident intellectuals from the Party, discussing China's traditional notion of human rights, or into the unexpected new worlds of Chinese bodybuilding, advertising, disco, and cosmetic surgery.
About the Author
Orville Schell was educated at Harvard University and the University of California, Berkeley and is the author of numerous books and articles on China, including Wealth and Power: China's Long March to the Twenty-First Century. The former dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at Berkeley, he is presently the Arthur Ross Director of the Center on US-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York City.
