Cui bor i Beijing, hvor alle gør hvad de kan for at hustle sig til succes i takt med, at deres forbrug af ligegyldige varer stiger. I omverdenens øjne er han en taber. Midt i 40’erne, skilt, barnløs og indlogeret hos sin søster – hvis mand er besat af at få ham smidt ud – i en lejlighed i udkanten af byen med en stor revne i væggen, som nordenvinden blæser igennem. Det eneste han virkelig bryder sig om er Beethoven og vintage højtalere, og han tjener til dagen og vejen ved at bygge tilpassede, gammeldags forstærkere til rige audio-fanatikere.En dag får han et tip fra en gammel ven om en speciel opgave: en mystisk mand der bor i en stor villa, og udstråler en slet skjult brutalitet, ønsker at få installeret “verdens bedste stereoanlæg”. Det er ikke en opgave uden ricisi, men hvis bare han ikke stiller for mange spørgsmål…Som du ved, lever jeg af at bygge rørforstærkere. Hvis man tæller sammen, er der højst tyve mennesker i Beijing der kalder det her deres levevej. Det er formentlig den mest uanselige branche i nutidens Kina. Det underlige er at selvom vi alle sammen kender hinanden, undgår vi for alt i verden at have noget med hinanden at gøre. Vi hverken undergraver eller promoverer hinanden og kommer aldrig med upassende kommentarer om hinandens evner. I stedet forsøger vi hver især at værne om den begrænsede kundekreds der opretholder vores eksistens. Langt de fleste i det her samfund er stort set uvidende om os. Men det er faktisk helt fint. Vi har også selv mere end god grund til at ignorere samfundet, skjule os i de mørke sprækker og finde tilfredsstillelse i vores usynlige liv.Ge Fei (Liu Yong) (1964), regnes for en af 80’erne og 90’ernes prominente forfattere inden for den eksperimenterende, kinesiske avantgarde fiktion. Flock of Brown Birds, Usynlighedskappen og den store Jiangnan-trilogi har alle fået en stor læserskare i Kina, og Ge Fei har bl.a. modtaget Lu Xun Litteraturpris i 2014 og Mao Dun-prisen for fiktion i 2015.

"I have read everything written on Marco Polo, and John Man's book is, by far, my favorite work on the subject. It's not only an over-due and important historical study, it's an entertaining ride every step of the way." ? John Fusco, Creator of the Netflix original series Marco PoloThe true history behind the Netflix original series Marco Polo, here is the remarkable story of the world's most famous traveler, retracing his legendary journey from Venice to China, the moment East first met West.In 1271, a young Italian merchant named Marco Polo embarked on a groundbreaking expedition from Venice, through the Middle East and Central Asia to China. His extraordinary reports of his experiences introduced medieval Europe to an exotic new world of emperors and concubines, amazing cities, huge armies, unusual spices and cuisine, and imperial riches. Marco Polo also revealed the wonders of Xanadu, the summer capital of Mongol emperor Kublai Khan.Almost 750 years later, acclaimed author John Man traveled in Marco Polo's footsteps to Xanadu then on to Beijing and through modern China in search of the history behind the legend. In this enthralling chronicle, Man draws on his own journey, new archaeological findings, and deep archival study to paint a vivid picture of Marco Polo and the great court of Kublai Khan.

Herbert Allen Giles (8 December 1845 - 13 February 1935) was a British diplomat and sinologist who was the professor of Chinese at the University of Cambridge for 35 years. Giles was educated at Charterhouse School before becoming a British diplomat in China. He modified a Mandarin Chinese romanisation system established by Thomas Wade, resulting in the widely known Wade-Giles Chinese romanisation system. Among his many works were translations of the Analects of Confucius, the Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching), the Chuang Tzu, and, in 1892, the widely published A Chinese-English Dictionary.Herbert A. Giles was the fourth son of John Allen Giles (1808-1884), an Anglican clergyman. After studying at Charterhouse, Herbert became a British diplomat to Qing China, serving from 1867 to 1892. He also spent several years (1885-1888) at Fort Santo Domingo in Tamsui, northern Taiwan. He was the father of Bertram, Valentine, Lancelot, Edith, Mable, and Lionel Giles. In 1897 Herbert Giles became only the second professor of Chinese language appointed at the University of Cambridge, succeeding Thomas Wade. At the time of his appointment, there were no other sinologists at Cambridge. Giles was therefore free to spend most of his time among the ancient Chinese texts earlier donated by Wade, publishing what he chose to translate from his eclectic reading in Chinese literature.His later works include a history of the Chinese Pictorial Art in 1905 and his 1914 Hibbert Lectures on Confucianism which was published in 1915 by Williams and Norgate. He dedicated the third edition of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio (1916) to his seven grandchildren, but at the end of his life was on speaking terms with only one of his surviving children. An ardent agnostic, he was also an enthusiastic freemason. He never became a Fellow at one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge, despite being a university professor for 35 years. He finally retired in 1932, and died at 89.

This book focuses on several specific features characterizing Chinäs economy in the Mao era (1952¿1976), and discusses whether and how they are related to the new economic strategy called ¿reforms and opening-up¿ under Deng Xiaoping¿s leadership with the result of the aftermath of well-known rapid growth. It provides the reader with basic knowledge of the continuity and discontinuity between the Mao and Deng eras. Readers are provided with some important clues for thinking about how Maoist China could have contributed to or alternatively prevented today¿s economic development. The topics addressed here include a brief overview of economic development under Mao, significant differences between Mao and Deng economics, and socialist transformations during the early Mao era. These include collectivization as well as communization and the effects on agricultural productivity; water supply construction drives utilizing a vast amount of rural surplus labor; rural finance; the effects on national savings, and the development of heavy and light industry. Also considered are the effects on the socialist industrialization, rural small-scale industries during the Cultural Revolution and their aftermath, and the realities of social life in a Third-front construction site promoted by Mao¿s military strategy in the 1960s. This book is highly recommended to readers who are interested in contemporary Chinäs economy, particularly to scholars and students. The volume gives new insight into the background or preconditions that made possible historically rare miracles of the Chinese economy after Mao.
