Dragon Seed: The Story of China at War by Pearl S. Buck
5.0
A different picture of China
This story begins right as Japan began invading China and follows the story of a rural village miles inside China's border but located near a town. This story reveals the more traditional side of he culture before communism and how society was on the cusp of progressing into a more educated and developed way of life versus the traditional simple life. It goes to show how China was deeply influenced by invasion, hardships, and cruelty at the hand of Japan's invading forces. An excellent story with a window to the hopeful nature of Chinese culture up to this time.
