520    Wang Ping's collection looks at a wide swathe of Chinese 
       history and literature, and examines various issues 
       stemming from immigration to America. She conveys the 
       voices of centuries of farmers and factory laborers, 
       revolutionaries, writers, artists and craftsmen. She has a
       unique gift for telling small stories with powerful 
       emotional effects. The title poem, ""Ten Thousand Waves, 
       "" was inspired by a tragedy that occurred on February 5, 
       2004. More than twenty Chinese laborers were drowned in 
       Morecambe Bay, England, when they were caught by an 
       incoming tide. They were collecting cockl.
