reviewed One Man's Bible on
This is a novel by a Chinese author which deals with what it was like to live through the Chinese cultural revolution. I liked it, but it wasn't a happy read. It would be of interest to someone who wants to know more about China during that period of its history. While it is not true, it is no doubt based of the facts of the time.
