A simple villager from Yunnan remembers over half a century of Chinese history -- including the Japanese invasion, the Communist revolution, and his own years spent in "reeducation-through-labor farms." Written with warmth, humor and an admirable lack of bitterness, this autobiography is a poignant glimpse into the rural Chinese peasant experience.
