Ebook: Shenfan

During 1948, the most turbulent year of the Chinese Civil War, William Hinton lived in the small Chinese village of Long Bow, 400 miles southwest of Peking. He documented that dramatic time in Fanshen, which has become a classic. In 1971 and the following years he returned many times to Long Bow to live with the peasants and see if the dreams of the revolution had been realized. Out of those extended visits has come Shenfan.
