My name is Lucky Chance. I'm a young man looking for an exciting life of travel, and I'm here in Beijing to start a teaching job. On April 4th, 2019, my luck runs out. The Beijing Police show up to my apartment unannounced and I'm arrested on drug charges. I get no information about the law, my rights, nothing. After 14 hours of sitting handcuffed in a holding cell, my destination is Beijing Jail No. 6. I am in a cell with 14 Chinese men and 9 wooden beds for 24 hours a day. I have no idea how many days I will be here, or whether I will ever receive any information. Am I the only foreigner in this jail? How does this jail even work? Does anyone even know I am here? Surely, as the time passes, my girlfriend, my friends, and my coworkers will notice I am missing eventually. Will they be able to find out where I am? How long will that take, or is this to be my future now? Will I ever leave this cell? Embark on this 14 Day Journey with me.

"F R E E M E" A psalm of my culture. Restrained for 14 days in a country where I am a foreigner. In my native land I felt foreign, but I felt at home simultaneously. Never would I have thought the phrase "F R E E M E" would mean free me. Glad I'm not dead, lest the front of a shirt be my final resting place. Pride stained on my flesh, how I, a cub, have wandered into the Serengeti. A clock on the wall knows my future, freedom in its hands. A second is life, a minute, eternity. "F R E E M E." Peace is my cell, cold, dark, unchanging. Unfamiliar eyes accompany me daily. Twenty four, seven, fifteen, nine, three, one, one. My lucky numbers. Red and blue. Life and substance. Knowledge and power. A trial of the mind to test the resolve of the soul. "Never let a hard time humble us, the marathon continues." (Hussle, 2019).

Download The Last Days of Old Beijing Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Journalist Michael Meyer has spent his adult life in China, first in a small village as a Peace Corps volunteer, the last decade in Beijing--where he has witnessed the extraordinary transformation the country has experienced in that time. For the past two years he has been completely immersed in the ancient city, living on one of its famed hutong in a century-old courtyard home he shares with several families, teaching English at a local elementary school--while all around him "progress" closes in as the neighborhood is methodically destroyed to make way for high-rise buildings, shopping malls, and other symbols of modern, urban life. The city, he shows, has been demolished many times before; however, he writes, "the epitaph for Beijing will read: born 1280, died 2008...what emperors, warlords, Japanese invaders, and Communist planners couldn't eradicate, the market economy can." The Last Days of Old Beijing tells the story of this historic city from the inside out-through the eyes of those whose lives are in the balance: the Widow who takes care of Meyer; his students and fellow teachers, the first-ever description of what goes on in a Chinese public school; the local historian who rallies against the government. The tension of preservation vs. modernization--the question of what, in an ancient civilization, counts as heritage, and what happens when a billion people want to live the way Americans do--suffuse Meyer's story.

From the dean of Scandinavian noir, Henning Mankell, the internationally bestselling and universally acclaimed Kurt Wallander series, an incredible stand-alone masterpiece: a bone-chilling mystery that spans two centuries and four continents. In the far north of Sweden a small, quiet village has been almost entirely wiped out by a mass murderer. The only clue left at the scene is a red ribbon. Among the victims are the grandparents of Judge Birgitta Roslin, who sets out to find the killer. Despite being brushed off by the police, Birgitta is determined to prove that the murders were not a random act of violence but are part of something far more dark and complex. Her investigation leads to the highest echelons of power and into the recesses of history where the seeds of evil deeds were planted.
