Life in Shanghai and Beijing - A Memoir of a Chinese Writer

by Xiaosheng Lang
$8.90
Life in Shanghai and Beijing - A Memoir of a Chinese Writer
Life in Shanghai and Beijing - A Memoir of a Chinese Writer

Insightful memoir of China's cultural, political shifts.

If you're captivated by personal stories that also reflect broader societal changes, Xiaosheng Liang's memoir is a fascinating choice. It offers not just a glimpse into the author's life but also serves as a window to the transformation of two major Chinese cities during pivotal moments. Through the narrative of a writer's experiences, you'll engage with the history and culture of Shanghai and Beijing in a deeply intimate way.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
