具体描述
The first of Eileen Chang's novels to be written in English, The Rice-Sprout Song portrays the horror and absurdity that the land-reform movement brings to a southern village in China during the early 1950s. Contrary to the hopes of the peasants in this story, the redistribution of land does not mean an end to hunger. Man-made and natural disasters bring about the threat of famine, while China's involvement in the Korean War further deepens the peasants' misery. Chang's chilling depiction of the peasants' desperate attempts to survive both the impending famine and government abuse makes for spellbinding reading. Her critique of communism rewrites the land-reform discourse at the same time it lays bare the volatile relations between politics and literature.

评分##小说越往后推进，英文文笔也越来越洒脱。还是很值得琢磨的一个文本。
评分##one of the best modern Chinese fictions. 个人感觉英文版（当然）不如中文版
评分##略偏激，但还是有真实的部分在，会想什么是决定人性的东西？善，是在保证人根本需求的情况下才会出现的东西还是无论什么情况下都会存在的东西？改变人性的是什么？
