Duke. 330 $aThe title piece of this collection was an immediate sensation when it was published in China in September 1979. An outstanding example of "reportage," or fictionalized social analysis, "People or Monsters?" is the story of the corruption of an entire commune in a small county in the remote Heilongjiang Province of northeastern China. . . . While many in China were scandalized by Liu's expose, many more saw in it a microcosm of Chinese society. Liu Binyan's lifelong dedication to truth and truth alone has rendered his career?which began in 1951 with a reporting position on the Party newspaper in Beijing?particularly vulnerable to the ever-shifting political tides of Communist China. Condemned to silence in 1958, during the Anti-Rightist campaign subsequent to the famous Hundred Flowers Movement, Liu was finally "rehabilitated" twenty-one years later, after the fall of the Gang of Four. The courageous honesty of "People or Monsters?" infuses all the pieces included in this collection. 606 $aGeschichte (1979-1981)$2swd 606 $aAnthologie$2gnd 606 $aErza?hlung$2gnd 606 $aAufsatzsammlung$2gnd 606 $aSoziale Situation$2gnd 606 $aChinese prose literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00857709 606 $aChinese prose literature$vTranslations into English 607 $aChinesisch$2swd 607 $aChina$2swd 607 $aChina$2fast 607 $aChina$vLiterary collections 608 $aTranslations. 608 $aLiterary collections. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 00$aGeschichte (1979-1981) 615 0$aAnthologie 615 0$aErza?hlung 615 0$aAufsatzsammlung 615 0$aSoziale Situation 615 0$aChinese prose literature. 615 0$aChinese prose literature 700 $aLiu$b Binyan$f1925-2005.$0637289 701 $aLink$b E.
