China Witness: Voices From a Silent Generation - Xinran
R 150.00
A landmark oral history that records the memories of ordinary Chinese men and women who lived through the vast upheavals of the 20th century — from warlord rule and the Japanese invasion to revolution, famine, the rise of Mao Zedong and modern industrialisation. Journalist Xinran travelled across China talking to elders now in their seventies, eighties and nineties, capturing their firsthand accounts of ordinary life, hopes, struggles and the profound transformations of their nation. These personal testimonies give intimate insight into modern Chinese history as seen through the eyes of those who witnessed it.
