Description

Tide Players collects nuanced and sharply etched profiles of these movers and shakers, capturing both the concrete detail and the epic dimension of life in the world's fastest growing economy.

The vivid cast of characters includes an unlikely couple who teamed up to become leading property moguls, Mao's favourite 'barefoot doctor' who has transformed himself into a publishing maverick, and an electronic chain store tycoon who insisted on avenging his mother, executed as a counter-revolutionary criminal.

Zha also presents China's newest breed of intellectuals.
