“Funny and shrewd” (The New York Times Book Review) essays from China’s most popular young troublemaker about growing up millennial and causing social and political scandal today. Han Han “owes equal debt to Jack Kerouac and Justin Timberlake” (The New Yorker). He’s the most influential (and provocative) young person in China, equally beloved and reviled for the satirical wit with which he takes on everyone from corrupt politicians to ludicrous protesters and everything from Internet culture in a country that censors the Internet to the question of whether China is ready for democracy. “Evocative and funny” and “occasionally electrifying” (The Wall Street Journal), The Problem with Me provides “an insider’s look into Chinese culture and politics” (Publishers Weekly).

A touching reminder of how music can bring people together. Xiaomi will never forget the magical sounds she heard one hot summer evening when the power went out in her family’s apartment building. It happened while her parents were preparing dinner. Her father lit candles and suggested they take their musical instruments to the courtyard to perform for their neighbours. Xiaomi danced as her father played the erhu and her mother the accordion. The songs made their way into each home, and soon, everyone joined the concert, laughing and singing under the moonlight. Includes a CD (and a unique digital download code) with the narrated story and song.
