Looking for Poetry by Chen Nianxi

Would anyone be able to provide me a link to read or purchase the works of Chen Nianxi? The recent nyt article on him was interesting, but I am unable to find any of his works to read.

Excellent Book on the British, CCP, HK China loyalist and HK pro-democracy factions in the years before the handover

Covers the handover process up to the arrival of Patten.

We learn that as early as ~1982 Deng was pushing for "One Country Two Systems"...with CCP characteristics.

The main reason for concessions by the CCP to democratic forces was for the credibility/stability of the HK economic engine.

The CCP feels it no longer needs the HK economy.

Talks about instigators and provacateurs being placed by the CCP in the HK pro-democracy camps.

It's possible some of the fire and burning in the 2019 protests was done by CCP provacateurs.

Here's the book. The Fall of Hong Kong by Mark Roberti 12mb pdf

Can anyone recommend a great translation of The Dream of the Red Chamber?

There are so many translations and editions like the Tuttle version, Penguin version, etc. Can anyone recommend a comprehensive and accurate English translation for me?

Anybody reading Yiyun Li?

“I did not yet know that some people were assigned a fate that left them on the sidelines, listening.”

Been reading her books/ collection of stories lately. And on the lookout for more. I find her writing very poignant, simple yet beautifully written. I believe she only started writing in English about six years ago? She also brings an interesting perspective of someone born in China in the 80s and yet very Westernized in other ways.
