Woman from Shanghai

Thirteen more horror stories based on interviews with survivors (presented as fiction in order to bypass China's censors) comes to us care of author Xianhui Yang.

In his book, "Woman From Shanghai, Tales of Survival From a Chinese Labor Camp," hailed as China's "Gulag Archipelago," we find our basest nature, in agonizing detail, reflected once more.

A brief review by novelist Fan Wu of San Jose, who herself was born on a state-run labor farm in China can be found here.
