The Guardian novel ghost stories
I really liked how the ghost stories captured snapshots of Chinese society, so I'm going to briefly summarize them here!
Anyways, presented without additional comment:
1) Li Qian ( one child policy stuff )
2) Wang Zheng and Sang Zan ( democracy, sort of )
3) Wang Xiangyang, the Fruit-seller ( poor guy )
4) Runaway girl -- this one isn't particularly in depth, since by the 4th item, the focus is really on the mythology shenanigans, but I do like that there's transit logistics. ( more hukou stuff )
Complete aside, but I love that one of the grouses about the Underworld is that their file processing hasn't yet gone paperless.
