Michael Meyer - In Manchuria: A Village Called Wasteland and the Transformation of Rural China Feb 19 2015 7:00 pm In The Last Days of Old Beijing Meyer brought urban Chinese traditions to life on the very eve of their disappearance. His new book traces the huge changes underway throughout rural China. Meyer lived for three years in the northeast village of Wasteland and documents its transformation from commune to company town, a tour of the present that also includes a look back to the Japanese occupation, the rise of Communism, and how it has all affected Wasteland’s community.
