Would-be lovers connected and separated by random chance. A drunken dissident and his less-then-happy minder. A researcher of war atrocities who must come to grips with her own family tragedies. A princess of a kingdom that no longer exists. Actors placed at the service of comedies and tragedies, depending on a filmmaker's whim... These are the characters that populate Ho Lin's short story collection \u003cem\u003eChina Girl\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its nine tales, \u003cem\u003eChina Girl\u003c\/em\u003e documents the collisions between East and West, the power of myth and the burden of history, and loves lost and almost found.
