Covering China from the Ground Up
Talk by Michael Meyer
Monday, March 02, 2015
4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Bunche Hall 10383
In Manchuria: A Village Called Wasteland and the Transformation of Rural China
Since first arriving in the country as a Peace Corps volunteer 20 years ago, Michael Meyer has witnessed and written about the transformation of China, at the level of both an urban neighborhood and a remote village. His award-winning first book “The Last Days of Old Beijing” documented changes in the daily life in the capital’s oldest neighborhood as the city remade itself for the 2008 Olympics. In his second book “In Manchuria: A Village Called Wasteland and the Transformation of Rural China” he describes the experience of his wife’s relatives as their family rice farm developed into a corporate agribusiness.
Amplifying the story of family and Wasteland, Meyer -- via photographs -- will take us on a journey across Manchuria’s past, a history that explains much about contemporary China—from the fall of the last emperor to Japanese occupation and Communist victory. Meyer will also talk about the challenges of reporting from China and how a freelance writer can fund and produce books that reach a wide audience.
Michael Meyer first went to China in 1995 with the Peace Corps. As the author of the acclaimed The Last Days of Old Beijing, he received a Whiting Writers’ Award for nonfiction, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has also won a Lowell Thomas Award from the Society of American Travel Writers. Meyer’s stories have appeared in the New York Times, Time, Smithsonian, Sports Illustrated, Slate, the Financial Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune and on This American Life. He teaches nonfiction writing at the University of Pittsburgh and spends the offseason in Singapore.

We did check your webpage of "关于我们" . The statement of your background is mbiguous and fuzzy. It seems that you are a pure profit making website. As a non-profit and non-political professional organization, we will not get connected with you. |

3/4/2015 - In Manchuria: A Village Called Wasteland and the Transformation of Rural China
Social Sciences Building, SOS B40
University of Southern California，Los Angeles, CA 90089
Time: 4:00 - 5:30PM
Cost: Free, please click here to RSVP.
For three years, Michael Meyer rented a home in the rice-farming community of Wasteland, hometown to his wife's family. Their personal saga mirrors the tremendous change most of rural China is undergoing, in the form of a privately held rice company that has built new roads, introduced organic farming, and constructed high-rise apartments into which farmers can move in exchange for their land rights. Once a commune, Wasteland is becoming a company town.
Amplifying the story of family and Wasteland, Meyer -- via photographs -- will take us on a journey across Manchuria's past, a history that explains much about contemporary China-from the fall of the last emperor to Japanese occupation and Communist victory. Through vivid local characters, Meyer illuminates the remnants of the imperial Willow Palisade, Russian and Japanese colonial cities and railways, and the POW camp into which a young American sergeant parachuted to free survivors of the Bataan Death March. In Manchuria is a rich and original chronicle of contemporary China and its people. The book will be available for purchase at the event.
