Review
Here is China down and dirty, a side of the country rarely, if ever, experienced by foreigners, no matter how knowledgeable or fluent in the language they are...The first pages of this book recount in moving and often exquisite detail - the English translation by Danica Mills reads very well - how Chen, when still a little boy, was guided by his slightly older brothers to touch, stroke and almost see trees, flowers, animals and insects. -- Jonathan Mirsky Literary Review The book is vital reading for those hoping to understand the struggle of China's disabled people to gain fair treatment, the party's continuing stranglehold on the implementation of the law, and the pressures and compromises involved in human rights negotiations in China [...] Chen's extraordinary tenacity is the keynote of the book. -- Julia Lovell Guardian
