Ji Xianlin

The Chinese Cultural Revolution began in 1966 and led to a ten-year-long reign of Maoist terror throughout China, in which millions died or were sent to labor camps in the country or subjected to other forms of extreme discipline and humiliation. Ji Xianlin was one of them. The Cowshed is Ji’s harrowing account of his imprisonment in 1968 on the campus of Peking University and his subsequent disillusionment with the cult of Mao. As the campus spirals into a political frenzy, Ji, a professor of Eastern languages, is persecuted by lecturers and students from his own department. His home is raided, his most treasured possessions are destroyed, and Ji himself must endure hours of humiliation at brutal “struggle sessions.” He is forced to construct a cowshed (a makeshift prison for intellectuals who were labeled class enemies) in which he is then housed with other former colleagues. His eyewitness account of this excruciating experience is full of sharp irony, empathy, and remarkable insights into a central event in Chinese history.In contemporary China, the Cultural Revolution remains a delicate topic, little discussed, but if a Chinese citizen has read one book on the subject, it is likely to be Ji’s memoir. When The Cowshed was published in China in 1998, it quickly became a bestseller. The Cultural Revolution had nearly disappeared from the collective memory. Prominent intellectuals rarely spoke openly about the revolution, and books on the subject were almost nonexistent. By the time of Ji’s death in 2009, little had changed, and despite its popularity, The Cowshed remains one of the only testimonies of its kind. As Zha Jianying writes in the introduction, “The book has sold well and stayed in print. But authorities also quietly took steps to restrict public discussion of the memoir, as its subject continues to be treated as sensitive. The present English edition, skillfully translated by Chenxin Jiang, is hence a welcome, valuable addition to the small body of work in this genre. It makes an important contribution to our understanding of that period.”

Memories about the Cultural Revolution is a memoirs of the Cultural Revolution in China by Ji Xianlin. In this book, he tells his own miserable story in a humorous even ironic style of writing. The reveal in the cruelty of that period frightened people a lot. The author's purpose of writing this book is also to encourage those who struggled through the decade to stand out and tell the truth, so that we may take that lesson and never make the same mistake.

The writer of A History of Sugar is Ji Xianlin,who is an important Chinese writer, linguist, historian, translator, master of 12 languages. Then, why would a humanistic intellectual like Ji write about sugar, an everyday substance in our lives? If we take a look at the word for sugar in the most spoken languages of the West, we can see that the Western terms for sugar and candy share the same source, a foreign one. These foreign terms originated in the Vedic and ancient Sanskrit terms arkar and khaaka, as well as the Pali term sakkhar. This demonstrates that the sugar and candy of Europe came from India. The spread of these two things from India to Europe was not direct. Instead, it passed through intermediaries in Persia and Arabia. Then what about China? Ji bilieves the source materials he have found in ancient Chinese literature could help solving this problem.In the book, he use strict textual research techniques with the meterials to present the history of cultural evolution and exchange behind sugar in China from Zhou Danasty to Qing Daynasty. As Ji said, my small hope is that this book can present people with historical facts they have not seen before, allowing them to understand that there is a vivid history of human cultural exchange behind such a seemingly insignificant product. With this knowledge, I hope that people can gain a greater sense of their shared fate.
