Up the Elevator and Up in Smoke
After we were on the elevator and the doors were closed I noticed that he had hidden his burning cigarette in the cup of his hand and was just holding on to it. In the way things are viewed in China, if you get away with something without getting caught you are looked at as being successful.

A Critique of Jung Chang and Jon Halliday's Book Mao, the Unknown Story
China's economic development is one of the most significant events in recent times. It is at least partially the consequence of her social and political evolution/revolution in the past century. If the west wants to understand modern China, it is essential not to misunderstand her founder, Mao. However, the book of J. Chang (JC) and J. Haliday, Mao, the unknown story, is misleading the Western public into profound misunderstanding of Mao, China's modern history and China itself.

The Far Future and the Deepened Culture Layer
"Culture layer" is a general term for the stratum of physical evidence left by civilization. In the far future we can assume, barring catastrophes, that this layer will be much thicker. Science fiction writers have occasionally contributed memorable imagery connected with this theme.
