Shanghai Escapist

About the Book

A must-read for those with strong interest in the history of the Cultural Revolution upheavals in 1960s-70s China.

This is a novel about oppression and misery, about struggle and survival, about escape and escapism, about hope and despair, about love and sex. It is a work of great realism and brilliant description.

It rings so shockingly true that you can't even tell fiction from reality. It may very well be a real-life story!
