The way to understand my soul 

      受活
       by 阎连科

-- This is one of the best novels I have read in years from China. Imagine there's a small village full of disabled person. They live far away from the ordinary people. They rely on each other, they help each other. They live happily from the beginning of the time.  But one day, they made a decision. They decide to be a part of the ordinary world. What did they get from the outside world, those normal people? What will be their fate? You should find out by yourself.

我们仨
 by 杨绛  

--喜欢杨绛其实比喜欢钱钟书更多。尤其喜欢她译的<<堂。吉科得>>，大概女人的文笔和女读者更有灵悉。喜欢他们一家子还因为是老乡，看他们的生活记事时常可看见熟悉的乡音，亲切得很。<<我们仨>>是回忆她和钱钟书，钱媛的生活琐事。虽是琐事，却见真情。尤爱他们生活中的这样一个片段：三人各自在自己的书桌上看书，互不干扰。这家子人真好象不食人间烟火，生活得如此出世。

中国农民调查
by 陈桂棣、春桃     

--Shocking and shocking again! The book told stories about what really happens to Chinese farmers, to the people who feed us. It's sad to read the disturbing truth about Chinese peasants. We never treated them right, from the very beginning. No one treated them right. The government asks for the most from them and give it the city dwellers. Peasants are banned from all the benefit that city dwellers take for granted. Because of what? Simply because they are the easiest to exploit, because they don't have any one to protect them. City dwellers treat them as dirt and despite them without realizing that the reason they can live comfortable in the city is because of the hard work of their fellow peasants. No one protects them, even the constitution deprive their rights. I believe in cause and effect. Fewer and fewer farmers are growing produce on their lands. Most cities start to experience  shortage of cheap labors. Things will always come to a full circle. Who can bear the revenge?
