He writes of bureaucrats, students and Cultural Revolution survivors, stripping none of their complexity and humanity. He's gentle with their idiocies, saving his sharpest barbs for himself (it's his pants that split from zipper to waist whilst demonstrating martial arts in Canton). Though dribs of history and drabs of classical lore seep through, this is mostly a personal tale, noted by the Los Angeles Times for \"the charmingly unpretentious manner in which it penetrates a China inaccessible to other foreigners.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Salzman demonstrates with skill and subtlety just how Chinese society works.\"--The Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Gong fu, or 'skill that transcends mere surface beauty'...no other term is as apt for a book that describes China and its people with such deftness and delight.\"--Time\u003cbr\u003e\n      From the Publisher      \u003cbr\u003e\n\"Salzman demonstrates with skill and subtlety just how Chinese society works.\"--The Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Gong fu, or 'skill that transcends mere surface beauty'...no other term is as apt for a book that describes China and its people with such deftness and delight.\"--Time\u003cbr\u003e\n      From the Inside Flap      \u003cbr\u003e\nSalzman captures post-cultural revolution China through his adventures as a young American English teacher in China and his shifu-tudi (master-student) relationship with China's foremost martial arts teacher.\u003cbr\u003e\n      From the Back Cover      \u003cbr\u003e\nSalzman captures post-cultural revolution China through his adventures as a young American English teacher in China and his shifu-tudi (master-student) relationship with China's foremost martial arts teacher.\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nMark Salzman is the author of\u003cbr\u003e\nIron \u0026amp; Silk, an account of his two years in China;\u003cbr\u003e\nLost in Place, a memoir; and the novels\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Laughing Sutra, The Soloist, and\u003cbr\u003e\nLying Awake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780394755113\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.9 x 5.1 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50145640120624,"sku":"Trans_9780394755113","price":900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/61yuzA1o_CL.jpg?v=1757940506","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/iron-and-silk-a-memoir-0000-vintage-departures","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
