Deathsong of the River: A Reader's Guide to the Chinese TV Series Heshang

By Hsiao-K'ang Su and Xiaokang Su

Book Overview

Perhaps the most daring TV documentary series ever produced in mainland China, which directly affected the thinking of Chinese youth on the eve of the 1989 democracy movement. This richly-annotated translation of the original filmscript by Su Xiaokang and Wang Luxiang puts the series in its intellectual and artistic context and is suitable for use in classes on Chinese culture and contemporary China, with or without the videotape.
