A temple to the PLAPosted by Joel Martinsen, November 17, 2008 12:35 PM
In October, 1949, soldiers from the PLA's 28th Army who landed on Quemoy were wiped out by ROC forces. A young girl who had previously been rescued by the army made clay figures to commemorate the 27 soldiers she knew, and in 1993 built this temple in Chongwu, Fujian. The temple founder, Zeng Hen, is now 67. The temple was completed in 1996. The following year, local residents erected a memorial to the 27 soldiers, followed by a memorial hall.

 Tales of Old Hong Kong: The new Tales of Old Hong Kong compiled by Derek Sandhaus is available at Earnshaw Books.
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
