Summary
The Phoenix Years tells the riveting story of China's rise from economic ruin to global giant in the four decades after the country started opening to the world in 1978. The book brings the story to life by counterpointing the remarkable narrative of economic and political change with the one running beneath the surface - the story of China's emerging avant-garde, a semi-secret world of artists dreaming of freedom, including pioneers of the earliest days, edgy new players, members of China's troubled ethnic minorities, and a giant of the China art boom whose paintings grace museums in every Western capital
