The Folding Mirror: the Ballad of Macau's Fifty Years

"I spent five years interviewing 142 Macau people, from former secretaries of the Macau governor to foreign maids. This is not a historical novel, this is history itself - the tears, laughter and dignity that have never been written into official archives. Macau is so small that a typhoon can cover the entire city. Macau is also very big, big enough to hold the entire past, present and future of China. Open this book and you will feel the heartbeat of an island. " Half a century of waves, a miracle of thirty square kilometers. Turn the first page and you will fall into a Macau that is crazier than a casino, more real than history, and more cruel than a movie. There are no winners and losers here, just ordinary people who are trying not to be squashed in the folding era.
