LOVE AND POWER tells a timeless love story that takes place in the turbulent years preceding and including the democratic movement at Tienanmen Square. Leaving behind his girlfriend in a remote southern town, an ambitious young man, Eagle, embarks on a journey of love and power in China's capital, Beijing. While studying at China's best university, Beijing University, he gets to know the gregarious Blue Sky who is the most desired girl on campus, not only because of her beauty but also because of her family background. Blue Sky's father is the commander-in-chief of China's naval force. He marries Blue Sky to be able to stay in Beijing and becomes a famous pro-reform economist. Eagle, who has endured torture and is crippled and blind during the crackdown on the student movement, has to choose between the two women who to him symbolize power and love respectively. He finally chooses the one he really loves... The first novel about China's economic and political reforms in the 1980's, LOVE AND POWER will bring you back live to that important era.
A JOURNEY TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD:
A young Chinese student meets an American woman of the Vietnam War protest generation and falls in love with her. But, the woman cannot make the commitment now. They promise that they will meet again in eight years at the same place where they separated, Central Station, Brussels, on May 31st, 1997. Will they be able to keep the promise? Based on the authors own trans-Siberia experience, this novel presents a young Chinese students first journey to the outside world in the summer of 1989 against the background of the student demonstration in Tiananmen Square.
