"An engaging read, with lively first-person narratives . it is in these stories that the universality of people's hopes, fears and frustrations really shines through. * New Internationalist * A lucid, accessible account of rural Chinese life, its stories worth far more than the statistics usually invoked in accounts of the profound change that has swept China. -- Jonathan Chatwin * South China Morning Post * A true literary sensation ... [Liang] pulls no punches. -- Ian Johnson * New York Times * Stunningly insightful ... What makes Liang's study so compelling is the way in which it offers a glimpse of a world in which personal problems ... exist on the same level as broader social and political problems -- Mark Rappolt * ArtReview * Overburdened grandparents, children who don't see their parents, workers straining to make a living in unwelcoming cities: Liang Hong's book, ""China in One Village"" (tr. Emily Goedde), gives a platform for these voices from the countryside. -- Mike Cormack * SupChina * The immediacy of China in One Village brings to life how China is changing in a way that more academic works cannot do. * rs21 * Fair-minded and sanguine ... one of the clearest narrative accounts of China's countryside available in English. -- Amy Hawkins * Times Literary Supplement *"
