Seven contemporary Chinese women writers | 
pickSeven short stories by Chinese women written just after the Cultural Revolution and the Gang of Four. All of these stories are about intellectuals or artists coping with the Revolution and its aftermath, but there is an obvious reticence, of shying away from a horrible truth that can‘t be told. I was reminded of Liu Cixin‘s Three-Body Problem in which the astrophysicist responds to the Cultural Revolution by betraying Earth. #China #1970s #1980s
