The End of the Chinese Dream by Gerard Lemos
Glossy television images of happy, industrious and increasingly prosperous workers show a bright view of life in twenty-first-century China. But behind the officially approved story is a different reality. The author offers a revealing account of the thoughts and feelings of Chinese people regarding all facets of their lives.
