Lunch with Lijia Zhang, journalist and author of Socialism is Great! As Peter Hessler, Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, wrote: "A beautiful memoir... Our current China is heavy with victim memoirs, but this is a tale of aspiration: a young woman coming of age in a nation desperately trying to do the same". Looking forward to reading it. A colourful character, wonderful English complete with BBC accent, and to think she worked in a missiles factory. Good Yunnan food too.
