   I would add Ian Johnson’s Souls of China and Frank Dikotter’s The Cultural Revolution: A People’s Hiatory and The Tragedy of Liberation.

   Some more suggestions:

   On Chinese young people:
   Wish Lanterns – Alec Ash (probably my favourite of the last couple of years)
   China’s Millennials – EricFish (I liked this better than Oracle Bones)

   China’s Super Consumers – Michael Zakkour and Savio Chan
   All Eyes East: Lessons from the Front Lines of Marketing to China’s Youth – Mary Bergstrom
   Alibaba’s World – Porter Erisman

   Sex, Corruption etc:
   Red Lights – Zheng Tian Tian
   Anxious Wealth – John Osburg
   Death in the Lucky Holiday Hotel – in Ho and Wen’guang Huang (on the Bo Xilai scandal)

   Various stories about China:
   From The Dragon’s Mouth – Ana Fuentes
   China Road – Rob Gifford
   Out of Moa’s Shadow – Philip P. Pan

   Adding another vote in favor of Alec Ash’s Wish Lanterns, which along with Evan Osnos’ Age of Ambition is my favorite book on Modern China.

   In this Millennium right now cheating is becoming so common and normal, I don’t seem to understand why we as a people have to live our life’s that way. So much heartbreaks, you meet someone you fall in love with,which was not even genuine in the first instance, like it’s a normal way of life now. People find it hard to stay committed again. It’s becoming a thing. Getting information & data you need is not a big deal. Sometimes the truth needs to be unveiled by whatsoever means necessary. I’d suggest : SPYLORDHACK {@}- G-m-a-i-……. c-o-m or whatsapp or call……………..+1 (484) 964 3748
