An innovative way for students to sharpen their Chinese language
abilities while learning about Chinese culture
China's Peril and Promise is an advanced Chinese reader in two volumes
for students who want to enhance their understanding of modern China in
general and modern Chinese literature and intellectuals in particular.
The selections--which span the twentieth century and include essays,
short stories, biographies, and criticism--expose students not only to a
variety of modern Chinese literary genres but also to some of the major
substantive issues that modern Chinese intellectuals have faced. This
volume of China's Peril and Promise contains the vocabulary and
grammar notes. The companion volume provides the readings.
