黄河青山

Yellow River and Blue Mountains (A Memoir of Ray Huang) is actually a memoir of large scale. The content of the book covers the author's experiences from his military life in early stage and his working and studying in America in youth. It is also a ""great history"" with extraordinary vision, since it discusses Chinese revolutions in modern times and the thousands of years of Chinese history. Though plenty of criticism from Ray Huang, he shares with readers his great view of history grown out of the magnificent Chinese culture. The expressions are simple and clear, and even people with no cultural background could understand the book. Perhaps that is the reason why the great American writer Updike compared Ray Huang's writing to the fanciful writing of Kafka.
