Letters to Little Comrade, the eleventh installment of the Qinese Bureau of Public Affairs' modern-day urban series, takes us on an enlightening journey following Little Comrade's attempts to find happiness and purpose in her life through work, love, parental approval and misguided dreams of a faraway land known as "America." With chapter titles such as "Keep Calm, There Is Hope," "Exercise Is Healthy for the Spirit" and "Too Much Romance Is Unproductive," this publication moves between the tone of a self-help book and the story of Little Comrade, skilfully inserting social commentary about gender relations, workers' diligence and sacrifice and social harmony through patriotism. This new edition of QBPA's classic is a captivating and tragic tale with a nameless yet unforgettable heroine.
