520 _aZhang, one of China's greatest living writers, spent 22 years in Chinese labor camps, and kept a diary of his experiences. He later annotated this diary, filling in everything that the original left unsaid. "Grass Soup" is his portrait of degradation and redemption during the Cultural Revolution. Like Solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich," it forcefully describes not only how far humanity can fall, but also how people continue to live and hope.
