Revolutionary Bodies is the first English-language primary source–based history of concert dance in the People’s Republic of China.

Evil Emperor
The martial arts world was never a peaceful place. Using the name of the martial arts world as proof of the great changes in the martial arts world and the rivers and seas could never stop. There were people who failed, and there were people who succeeded. In the current martial arts world, Shaolin and Wudang had long since lost their momentum. Instead, it was replaced by "One Sect, Two Families, Seven Great Families" and "Golden Blade, Evil Sword, Dark Claw, Mysterious Sky Pill Phoenix".The news of the demonic sect annihilating the entire sect in one night quickly spread to Wu Lin. However, no one dared to bring it up. It was a mistake that made everyone ashamed and not want to bring it up until fifteen years later.The struggle in the official arena had tempered his evil, and the gentle and loving wife had allowed him to recognize his conscience once again. She had brought him out of the darkness and made him into a powerful figure, and the women in the martial arts world had pulled his conscience back, allowing him to change the way he lived and become the true godfather of the martial arts world.
The Past and the Punishments
To travel through these stories is to cross a landscape of stunning beauty and terrific cruelty, where expectations are subverted, where moral certainties are shattered, where gorgeously wrought surfaces beguile at the same time that acts of incredible brutality horrify. It is no wonder that Yu Hua’s stories caused a sensation when they first appeared in the 1980s. His work represents a sophisticated and often disturbing revolution in the Chinese literary tradition, reminiscent of the fiction of modernists like Kafka, Kawabata, Borges, and Robbe-Grillet, but drawing inspiration from several strains of traditional Chinese narrative as well. This is the first collection of short fiction by Yu Hua to appear in English. It takes us on a haunting and harrowing journey from classical China through the Cultural Revolution and into the new era of economic reform, exploding along the way our preconceived notions of what Chinese literature and culture are all about in the 1990s.
