Praise for Wang Hui:

“A central figure among a group of writers and academics known collectively as the New Left.” —New York Times Magazine

“One of China’s leading historians and most interesting and influential public intellectuals.” —Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Los Angeles Times

Praise for The End of the Revolution:

“Our focus on the country’s future has led to a de facto collusion with the Chinese government in ignoring its past ... In The End of the Revolution, the leading Chinese critic Wang Hui offers an alternative.” —John Gittings, The Guardian
