| Abstract | The Open Door and the introduction of the concept of a market economy have widened the gulf between China's peasants and the average city dweller as never before. The way of life in the countryside is as alien to the average Chinese city dweller as it is to people on the other side of the world. "The Garlic Ballads" written by Mo Yan is a book which tells the tale of garlic farmers Gao Ma and Gao Yang who caught up in a train of events they are powerless to stop. |
