This was my #China pick for #Booked2022, partly because it was written and published in China and translated. Hua is a novelist, but this piece of non-fiction chooses 10 words that he thinks are emblematic of Chinese history and culture beginning with his childhood during the 60s and 70s Cultural Revolution to the present. Each essay interweaves personal experience, social and political analysis, and humor. It was a real eye-opener for me. ⬇️
