Description
The Third Eye was applauded nationwide as a path-breaking story at its publication in 1986. However, Chinese authorities found it provocative and disturbing. The Third Eye received no awards, although it was superior in several ways to Gazing, a national prize winner. Apart from political challenges, The Third Eye offers a fresh humanitarian concern for those who attempted to escape from Maos China and a truthful portrait of political fear and sexual repression in the Peoples Liberation Army during those difficult years. It remains Zhu Sujins best fiction and a milestone in PLA Literature. Its significance is unlikely to fade even though the PLA portrayed in the story has long since become an historical artifact.
