I never read Empire of the Sun but I recommend J G Ballard's autobiography, Miracles of Life. According to him, in 1930s China it was quite normal for poor people to die in the street and just get left there.

The calm and coolness with which you deliver that, they make you a little, nay, a teeny bit scary, Col. |

No, no. I'm a warm, fuzzy, cuddly sort of person really!
One of the themes of the book was Ballard's inability to believe in God, and a major reason for that was the large number of carcasses he had seen, as a boy and later as a doctor.

Why, I believe you are the genuine, died in the wool, direct from IMDb via whatever came after IMDb Colin Sibthorpe article! Good to know you, Col. Yes, a shame about all the cadavers, but good he became disabused of silly notions. |
