Excerpt from Peasant Life in Communist China

Nothing quite like this material can be found anywhere else. It certainly does not occur in any narrative in a western language. The Crooks' account of Ten Mile Inn1 relates to a period before the Communists achieved total power and is more in the nature of a propaganda tract, difficult to use in a serious way. Yang Ch'ing - k'un's book about the Kwangtung village of Nanch'ing2 also relates to an earlier period, but like this study has the merit of extending from the pre-communist into the Communist period. The present remarks by Geddes may be added to Yang's book and enrich it, although the geographical areas in question are far apart.
