"Porte De LA Paix Celeste" (I think it’s in English “The Gate of Heavenly Peace) is a short novel. That’s full of emotions.
It’s a story of 2 main characters – a revolutionist student, very smart and sensitive girl, trying to find peace in her life after the suicide of her big love and a soldier, settled strongly in order and in the frame of communist China system. She is criminal in the eyes of the government and he is send to catch her and to “make an order with her”. She – with help of some people – is hidden in the village, in the deep province. He is following her as a wolf after the lamb. But in the meantime he is reading her diaries found during the search in her house. She is trying to find peace in herself. He starts to feel emotions which never accompanied him. How it will end? What will happen? Will they meet? I will not tell you that :)
It’s a short story of sudden changes and deep emotions. It’s also showing the cruelty of the system, where individuals are nothing special. But it’s also showing those Individuals who means a lot.
If you want to spend an hour or two on reading – that could be a nice suggestion.

This sounds like an interesting read. I'm going to see if I can find it in English.
I checked out the BookMooch place you suggested and it looks like a fun thing to do, swap books over the net. Do you use it?
