Summary:
"Set in the northern provincial commune town of Dismount Fort, In the Pond tells the story of Shao Bin, a worker at the Harvest Fertilizer plant who aims above his station. Passed over on the list to receive a larger apartment, while those in favor with the party are selected ahead of him, Shao Bin chafes at his powerlessness until he hits upon a solution: placing a satirical cartoon in the provincial newspaper. In the Pond is a close, unsentimental depiction of life in a small factory town: the maneuvering, posturing, petty jealousies and injustices of an ordinary man who tangles with the party bosses. In this first novel, as in his short
fiction
, "Ha Jin captures the particularities of life in
China
, yet we recognize his characters intimately."
