BITTER MONEY

To understand contemporary China, caught in a Great Leap Forward from feudalism into postmodernity, you can ask for no better guide than Wang, who here follows two teenage cousins journeying to the city of Huzhou, seeking a better life, and discovering only endless labor, abusive interpersonal relationships, and exploitation without recourse. Harrowing and massively humane.
