Rating:  Summary: original but bias Review: Reviewer: fjord from Portland, OR United States When I was in China, I read a review on this book, saying C. T. Hsia was funded by C.I.A when writting this book. "the book is bias and full of hatry to Communist China" the reviewer said, "that is why this book is banned in China". I was so curious that the first book I checked out from a U.S.A library was this one. I am disappointed since Hsia is really bias and sometimes paranoia.He really did not understand the huge difficulty all Chinese writers faced in the past 100 years. And sometimes I really doubt whether he is a Chinese at all? When he sat there laughing at Communist writers, did he realize those were of the same origin of his parents and himself? In this sense, this book is just common, not great, since it is lack of love and forgiveness, the basic elements of all great works.
