Summary

Presents a glimpse of city life in modern China. This work captures Beijing's bustle and noise, from seedy gambling dens and cheap noodle bars to the splendour of the Forbidden City. It also examines the sometimes uneasy relationship between China's brutal communist past under Mao and its increasingly capitalist present.

The Eye of Jade by Diane Wei Liang

A detective story with a difference
Diane Wei Liang was born in China in 1966, the year the Cultural Revolution began. She was studying at Beijing University in the 1980s but was forced to leave and continue her studies in the USA because of her involvement in the students' revolt that led to the Tiananmen Square massacre. She now lives in London, where she teaches business management at Royal Holloway, and is married with two small children.
