ABSTRACT

This book, first published in 1976, is a collection of essays by Chinese scholars, all of whom have been criticised by the Chinese Communist Party or by the Government. The work of these authors constitutes an important part of Chinese literature, and these essays are placed in context by explanatory explanations and come with a glossary that defines words strictly within the boundaries of the story.
