Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of modern China, this collection of linked short stories chronicles fifty years of transformation through the lens of Red Dust Lane in Shanghai. It captures the evolution from the optimism following the Communist revolution in 1949, through the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, to the pro-democracy movements and Tiananmen Square riots. Each story reflects the broader historical shifts while revealing the personal experiences of those living in this small yet significant street, making history both epic and intimate.
