can i get a little help?

Hey all. I am doing my english ISU assgn and I am really struggling with one part of it. I am to find a poem or short story that depicts the economic/political situation or the culture in China from the 1960's onward. It can be about immigration, east vs west type thing, whatever. Please, I am on my knees here; in the names of all things sacred please help me out. Thanks in advance.

You stumped me. I've ask my brother your question and he says a big
writer for that subject would be Pearl S. Buck. She mostly wrote Novels
but he's sure she wrote some short stories 2. But the time period may be
a problem, though she wrote things into the 80's. Or you may find some
related links by searching for her though. Hope I've helped :-)

As for your new case. I have a CM Stacker. It's a great case and the
price is way lower now :-)

Ya thats pretty good. Anything from 1960 onwards is a-ok. Thanks for Pearl S. Buck but Ive been looking for awhile now, its mostly biographies and stuff. her work is available for purchase but I'd rather not pay for it to be honest.

Thanks for the help everyone. Found what I was looking for (sort of). I showed the teacher whatever poems I could find and made up crap about how it relates to the book and culture and it worked! Its funny because what I made up really made sense. That is why I always say that english is the art of bulls--tting. Thanks for the help everybody, really appreciate.

Yeah, the BS extends further than that though. Look at words like phlegm.

Not to mention that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.
