The Mouth That Begs: Hunger, Cannibalism, and the Politics of Eating in Modern China - Post-Contemporary Interventions
Gang Yue
The Chinese ideogram Chi is far richer in connotation than the equivalent English verb "to eat." Chi can also be read as "the mouth that begs for food and words." This book examines the twentieth-century Chinese political experience as it is represented literature through hunger, cooking, eating, and cannibalising.
