Does anyone have good book recommendations on China’s recent history? I wanna learn about the creation of the PRC, the cultural revolution, the '89 democracy movement. I have started reading the Wikipedia articles but it’s just so dense and dry and I’m having trouble following it, I’m having trouble understanding the social state the described events happen in.
Was just wondering if there’s good books that explain everything better.
Not a history book in the traditional sense, but Yu Hua’s China in ten words is great.

Sit tight; I will ask my bro-in-law. He will, no doubt, have an answer. If not, he’ll at least have a reason why it doesn’t exist 😆 Recommendation incoming.
Dot to come back and look at recommendations.
