#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
1.I think we're getting a much larger variety of voices,which is excellent-Karoline Kan's account of growing up in China,Ma Jian's spectacular work,books on conflicts that might otherwise get ignored in favour of yet another WWII epic.However,in a bid to overcompensate,worse books are getting hysterically overpraised.
2.Terrible at them!

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 🤩💜📖💜📚 3y

This is one is a big pick!
It's very interesting and I learnt a lot about chinese culture and its inconsistencies.
China is famous to be one of the most powerfull countries nowadays, but a large part of the population still live in extremely poor conditions.
As a modern women, I felt very bad about how the woman is still see in this big Country... and there are so many other things that made me mad about!
This one' ve really opened my mind!

Finally I found a moment to relax a bit!
I need to focus to read this one, is a biography and it's quite interesting!
I've always been attracted by China country first, then Japan... so I'm really enjoying this reading. I'm learning a lot!

Two months of reading slump and now I'm back albeit slowly 😊 UNDER RED SKIES is a perfect read to break the slump! Simple yet engaging, clear-eyed storytelling about the real China through the eyes of a woman who not only struggled to reach her dreams but triumphed against discrimination and double-standard imposed by the society over time. Karoline Kan did what she needed to do: to deliver a story with compelling clarity and truth!👏📖

This is one of those memoirs you'll start reading and find your hand over your heart. This one story represents thousands and thousands of untold stories. Kan's coming of age memoir touches on China's one-child policy, hukou, forced, sterilization, religion, and much more.
