The Execution of Mayor Yin and Other Stories from the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (Chinese Literature in Translation)

The collection was published in English under the title "The Execution of Mayor Yin and Other Stories from the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution". Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1978. Tr. by Nancy Ing and Howard Goldblatt. The English language translation attained wide recognition, as its publication occurred at a time when U.S. President Richard Nixon's historic visit to China, the death of Mao Tse-tung, and the thaw in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China all generated widespread interest in China in the United States. A revised edition of the book with a new introduction by Perry Link was re-issued by Indiana University Press in 2004.
