The next book that I read took a bit longer to read, but it was just as good as A Hope in the Unseen. This book is called Waiting by Ha Jin. Ha Jin's experiences in the years after 1949 allows him to craft a novel that reflects China's political and social problems during the Cultural Revolution. From the eyes of Lin Kong , we saw a bureaucratic government that was filled with corruption and bad leadership. We also a social system that was struggling to come out of the traditional feudal society.
