His best-known work is The Ugly Chinaman, a controversial book that was banned in mainland China until the year 2000; in it he harshly criticized Chinese culture and the national character of Chinese people. According to his own memoir, the exact date of his birthday was unknown even to himself. He later adopted 7 March, the date of his 1968 imprisonment, as his birthday."
