Photos of Zhang Jie

Doing research on short stories, I came across two photos of Zhang Jie, who is widely (and mistakenly) thought to have written the first love stories after the Cultural Revolution.


Above, she's with Henry Miller in New York in 1986. (Another love story writes itself!)

Below, with a writer named Harrison ___ (I can't make sense of the last name yet. The Chinese is Suo-er-si-bo-li.) Who's the girl on the left? Zhang Jie and her publishers did not make a note. (Another hidden story!)
