Autorenporträt

This is a true and honest account of the life of Lin Xiangbei, an ordinary Chinese man from Sichuan Province, who celebrated his 100th birthday in 2018. In his memoir, he documents his passion for the ideals of Communism and the tumultuous changes that China has undergone within the last century. Originally named Lin Xianli, he changed his name at his Communist Party membership ceremony in 1938 to Xiangbei, which means `Towards the North¿, because the Communist Party¿s base was in Yanan in the north of China at that time. His book has been translated and compiled by his youngest daughter, Lin Ping, who is an accomplished artist in various media ranging through sculpture, oil painting and photography, specialising in portraits. She currently lives in London.
