The Institute
has acquired a copy of an unpublished novel from the Cultural Revolution period,
Jiuji lang 九极浪 (The ninth degree wave) by Bi Ruxie 毕汝协. Written in
Beijing in 1970, it has never been published - probably because of its explicit
treatment of a major taboo theme of the time, sex - , but circulated widely in
manuscript form.
The Institute has a copy of what survives of the
author’s handwritten text. He had buried the manuscript in the Yihe yuan in
Beijing to preserve it from possible police raids. Most of it was kept intact,
but some parts got wet and rotted away, among them the first page as well as the
end. The unearthed incomplete manuscript is now in Peking in the Zhongguo
xiandai wenxue guan.
The author is living in the US today.
