"The Master said, 'Men are close to one another by nature. They diverge as a result of repeated practice." This epigraph by Confucius is at the heart of CHINESE WALLS, Xu Xi's controversial literary debut. When it appeared in 1994, it was praised by the Far Eastern Economic Review as "a welcome new voice in the field of Asian fiction writers." This new EBook edition allows readers worldwide to peer between the invisible walls of a Chinese-Indonesian family in 1960's Hong Kong.
