The Literature column provides you with both critical essays on contemporary Chinese literature, and pieces produced by our authors and collaborators, based on their first-hand experience in China.

Memories by the bus stop

If you went back in time and met yourself from when you first came to China, would you tell yourself what this country has coming for you?

Gustavo Fiorello

I knew I would probably never see my flatmates’ rooms, so from the day I moved in, I started to silently gather information about them.

Beatrice Tamagno

While being alone with yourself on a sleepless night, you access a terrifying yet one of the most intimate experiences.

Luis Matte Diaz
