Watching from a Window in a Foreign Land (Unabridged): Xia Yu Cultural Interview Series - Part 2

This series of interviews is the most substantial and high-quality I have read in decades, with most of them being treasures and excellent pieces. Thanks to the author's studiousness, deep thinking, and ability to ask incisive questions, the entire collection is filled with ideas, allowing these interviewed celebrities and renowned figures to radiate the brilliance of wisdom from different perspectives. This is a new contribution by writer and journalist Xia Yu to Chinese and world culture. --Liu Zaifu, October 2, 2017, Colorado

"Listen to the voices of the world's most outstanding individuals, preserving a rich spiritual heritage." This is a collection of high-end interviews conducted over ten years by Xia Yu, former senior reporter for Southern Weekend. This volume includes his interviews and dialogues with numerous foreign cultural, political, and media elites, and it restores over 30,000 words that were deleted from the simplified Chinese version. Havel, Wałęsa, Al Gore, Chirac, Pamuk, Adonis, Eco, Sontag, Derrida, Miłosz... behind these glittering names are many outstanding lives and countless exciting and moving stories. Reading such a book is like communicating with humanity's finest minds and souls; it brings us enlightenment, opens our minds, and soothes our spirits.
