Traveller Without a Map

By: Chien Hsiao,Qian Xiao

This is an engagingly written memoir, originally published in English in 1990, by one of China's finest writers. Born in 1910, Hsiao Ch'ien joined the Communist Youth League and participated in demonstrations against the government before working with Edgar Snow as a translator and publishing his own fiction. He has worked in England and America, becoming friends with E.M. Forster and Bertrand Russell and reported the Nurembourg trials. After returning to China in 1949, he was soon in trouble with the authorities and served 16 years at hard labour. He was formally rehabilitated in 1979 and is today working on the translation into Chinese of James Joyce's Ulysses.

Women of the Long March

By: Lily Xiao Hong Lee,Sue Wiles

The Long March, a year-long retreat made by the Chinese Communist Red Army escaping from destruction by the Nationalist forces, is a central turning point in the history of modern China. Thirty women marched with the top leaders, including Mao Zedong and Deng Xioping, during the 6,000-mile trek, and 3,000 women were among the ranks. This book, one of the few to focus on the women, tells their story through the biographies of three key players. Just 17 when they became lovers, Mao's second wife, He Zizhen, bore his children along the way and was forced to leave them behind; Kang Kequing, wife of Zhu De, endured the same hardships as the men, shouldered arms, and fought alongside her male comrades; Commander Wang Quanyuan was captured with her battalion by enemy cavalry that forced the women to become concubines. Drawing on interviews and published and unpublished sources, this book details their experiences on the March and subsequent lives in Communist China.
