«Legacies: A Chinese Mosaic» is a non-fiction work by Bette Bao Lord, published by Pan Books in paperback (320 pages, in English).
The author, familiar with Chinese society through her own trajectory, gives voice to people of very different conditions: leaders, dissidents, intellectuals, and ordinary citizens. Their stories compose a choral portrait of revolutionary China and culminate in the tragic events of the Chinese Spring of 1989.
The work was originally published in 1990; this Pan Books edition appeared in 1991.
An appropriate read for those interested in contemporary Chinese history and in narratives that combine personal memory and collective testimony.
Bette Bao Lord is a Chinese-born American writer and civic activist for human rights and democracy.
