Product Information
In Tide Players, acclaimed New Yorker contributor and author Jianying Zha depicts a new generation of movers and shakers who are transforming modern China. Through half a dozen sharply etched and nuanced profiles, Tide Players captures both the concrete detail and the epic dimension of life in the world's fastest-growing economy. Zha's vivid cast of characters includes an unlikely couple who teamed up to become the country's leading real-estate moguls; a gifted chameleon who transformed himself from Mao's favorite "barefoot doctor" during the Cultural Revolution to a publishing maverick; and a tycoon of home-electronic chain stores who insisted on avenging his mother, who had been executed as "a counter-revolutionary criminal." Alongside these entrepreneurs, Zha also brings us the intellectuals: a cantankerous professor at China's top university; a former cultural minister turned prolific writer; and Zha's own brother, a dissident who served a nine-year prison term for helping to found the China Democracy Party. Deeply engaging, lucid, and poignant, Zha's insightful "insider-outsider" portraits offer a picture of a China that few Western readers have seen before. Tide Players is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand today's China.

Reviews
"Zha beautifully combines the hard-earned expertise of an insider with the moral candor of an outsider. In exploring China's defining struggles . . . [she] illuminate[s] the shadows in between, with empathy and courage." --Evan Osnos, The New Yorker "If you want to understand the astonishing developments in China's contemporary cultural life . . . there could be no surer or more entertaining guide than Zha." —K. Anthony Appiah, Princeton University "An engaging, comprehensible cross-section of the personalities and cultural concerns rising with China's ascent." — Kirkus "No one who writes in English about contemporary China is more thoroughly bilingual and bicultural than Jianying Zha. She truly 'gets it.'" —Perry Link, author of Evening Chats in Beijing, In Jianying Zha's remarkable and fast-paced book, the tide players are the pragmatists of modern China, who strive and prosper but who push events along in the process. The author is a Chinese woman who appears equally at home in Chinese and English, in Beijing and in New York. A returnee to China after a long stint in the US, she becomes the reader's person on the inside. - Financial Times Like many of her subjects, Jianying Zha ( China Pop: How Soap Operas, Tabloids, and Bestsellers Are Transforming a Culture, 1995) has a fraught relationship with her homeland. Born in Beijing, she received a scholarship to the University of South Carolina, then returned to China. Since then, she's established herself intellectually in both societies. Her cultural survey The Eighties was a surprise bestseller in naΧ in America, she endeavors to "keep focused on the Chinese to explain China." This book is divided into two sections, "The Entrepreneurs" and "The Intellectuals," built around narratives and interviews with individuals who have prospered during the last two decades of economic reform, yet remain mindful of the Chinese state's authoritarianism. The entrepreneurs include a "good tycoon" whose mother was executed during the Cultural Revolution for criticizing Mao; after he'd made a fortune in appliance marketing, he devoted his energy to clearing her name. A chapter on married real-estate developers, nicknamed "The Turtles," provides a good window into Chinese-style gentrification: "Developers are regarded as China's robber barons, men who have taken advantage of the muddled transition to capitalism by means of guanxi (connections), bribery, and fraud." In the second section, the author examines how Peking University (China's premier university) and esteemed writers and critics are weathering the tides of transformation. She reveals a more personal connection to the country's ongoing turmoil, in that her brother, once an ardent Maoist, served a 9-year prison sentence for "subverting the state." The author argues that despite searing recollections of Tiananmen, a new consensus has formed against political activism, given that marketplace reforms have raised 400 million Chinese out of poverty. Overall, she presents a crisply narrated panorama of the strange journey taken by her generation of Chinese, who've gone "from being Mao's little red children to bitterly disillusioned adults." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Zha beautifully combines the hard-earned expertise of an insider with the moral candor of an outsider.
