This bawdy, irreverent Cultural Revolution classic is also bizarrely moving
During the , children killed parents, lives were broken irrevocably, millions were beaten and starved to death – and Wang Xiaobo wrote an erotic comic novel about it all.
Now one of China’s most popular modern writers, Wang was completely unknown when he released Golden Age in Taiwan in 1992; now it is available for the first time in complete form in a sparky, earthy translation by the young Chinese American translator Yan Yan. Wang wrote prolifically, torrentially, for the next five years, scandalising the authorities and titillating the public, until his death in 1997, when his novels moved from black-market editions to more freely disseminated, semi-sanctioned copies.

Rishi Sunak has recorded a clip for broadcasters in Southampton. Asked about the arrest of some anti-monarchy protesters at the coronation, for which the Met has now apologised, Sunak refused to criticise police for what they did.
Asked if the arrests made him feel uncomfortable, Sunak said the police were “operationally independent of government”. He went on:
They make the decisions on the ground in the way they see fit.
It wouldn’t be right for me to interfere with their operational decisions, but it is right for the government to give the police the powers to tackle serious disruption.
