Published originally in the pages of Le Monde, this
collection of linked short stories by Qiu Xiaolong has
already been a major bestseller in France (Cite de la
Poussiere Rouge) and Germany (Das Tor zur Roten Gasse),
where it and the author was the subject of a major
television documentary. The stories in Years of Red Dust
trace the changes in modern China over fifty years—from the
early days of the Communist revolution in 1949 to the
modernization movement of the late nineties—all from the
perspective of one small street in Shanghai, Red Dust Lane.
From the early optimism at the end of the Chinese Civil War,
through the brutality and upheaval of the Cultural
Revolution, to the death of Mao, the pro-democracy movement
and the riots in Tiananmen Square—history, on both an epic
and personal scale, unfolds through the bulletins posted and
the lives lived in this one lane, this one corner of
Shanghai.
