My short story “Li Lei’s Big Escape” has been published by Collective Unrest. It is inspired by a news story I translated in 2013. The central character’s backstory is borrowed/stolen from a chapter in Xinran’s “The Good Women of China“. The premise also comes from “Mr Loveday’s Little Outing” by Evelyn Waugh.
