Ma Jian recommendations:

Strange Tales of Liaozhai, by the Qing Dynasty author Pu Songling. Wonderful supernatural stories in which the ghosts, demons and fox spirits are kinder and more humane than the human characters.

China 1957 by You Fengwei. A powerful novel describing Mao’s persecution of China’s intellectuals.

Border Town by Shen Congwen—a beautiful evocation of rural China in the 1930s.
