China Candid: The People on the People's Republic (University of California Press, 2006) is a book written by Chinese journalist Sang Ye. It is the second book of interviews Sang has been involved in, following co-authorship with Zhang Xinxin on Chinese Profiles (Beijing 1986), revised as Chinese Lives (1988). The author interviewed thirty-six citizens of the People's Republic of China; each chapter of the book is a transcript of each interview turned into a single narrative flow, as if the interviewed person is talking alone during the whole interview, without interruptions from the journalist. Some people the author has interviewed are: a new tycoon a worker coming to Beijing from the countryside a young athlete the founder of a private orphanage a prostitute a computer hacker It was translated into Italian in 2007.
