Renée Krusche is postdoctoral research fellow and lecturer at University of Erlangen–Nuremberg.
If you also have difficulty imagining how the Chinese state might help its citizens enjoy a good night's sleep--this book is for you. With fascinating details and penetrating insights, Krusche shows how the physical bodies--and the meanings of health, labor, and daily life--were radically transformed when the Maoist state strove to create the socialist "New Man" out of the "Sick Man of East Asia." Sean Hsiang-lin Lei, author of Neither Donkey nor Horse: Medicine in the Struggle over China's Modernity
