Sang Ye
Sang Ye (born 1955) is the pen name of Shen Dajun, a Chinese journalist, oral historian, and collector. He is the author of two oral histories, "Chinese Lives: An Oral History of Contemporary China" (co-authored with the novelist Zhang Xinxin), and "China Candid: The People on the People's Republic." Originally trained as an electrical engineer, following a short course at Beijing Normal University in 1978 he began working as a freelance journalist. Described as a "remarkably gifted interviewer" with a "wholly unexpected, free-and-easy style" by Studs Terkel, Sang Ye has been praised for providing a unique perspective on China in the Reform and Opening Up era, "[bringing] to light the way people make sense of the world through telling themselves stories about their personal journeys." In 1990, his personal archive of monographs, posters, recordings and newspapers from the Cultural Revolution was purchased by the National Library of Australia.
