Yellow Peril (novel)
Yellow Peril (Chinese: 黃禍, pinyin: Huáng Huò) is a 1991 novel by Wang Lixiong, written in Chinese under the pseudonym Bao Mi (lit. "Secret"), about a civil war in the People's Republic of China that becomes a nuclear exchange and soon engulfs the world, causing World War III. It is notable for Wang Lixiong's politics, a Chinese dissident and outspoken activist, its publication following Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, and its popularity due to bootleg distribution across China even when the book was banned by the Communist Party of China.
The book was published in 1991 by Mirror Books, a Chinese editor in Toronto, Canada, and soon became a best-seller.

“He will watch from dawn to gloom
The lake-reflected sun illume
The yellow bees in the ivy-bloom,
Nor heed nor see, what things they be;
But from these create he can
Forms more real than living man,
Nurslings of immortality!”

Have made your peril of your pride,
Think you that you are to go on
Forever pampered and untired?”
