...guess you can call my life stressful, chaotic and filled with hard work. When taking a look at it all, I see past this and notice how fortunate I am to have not only a mother and a father but food every day and a roof over my head.

Facing each other in a tight circle, fingers spread and palms making a sharp crack as they clap, the men of the village of Ianapus tattoo the dark ground with their rhythmic stomping. In contrast to the chaotic rainforest that covers most of their island of Tanna, the surface of the men's dancing ground is bare earth, compacted and smooth from countless years of ritual.

Another was the doctrine of perpetual revolution, which reached chaotic extremes during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution that began in 1966. Party bureaucrats and intellectuals were banished to factories and into the countryside to "learn from the people" by working with their hands, and teenage Red Guards rampaged through China assaulting supposed "bourgeois rightists."

This ambitious scheme has got off to a somewhat stumbling and chaotic start. State bankers at the end of 1984 overused their new authority and went on such a wild lending spree that the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, had to tell them to stop. Factory bosses, in contrast, widely complain that they are still waiting for confirmation from local party and government officials that they can begin exercising the new freedoms they supposedly were granted at the start of 1985. For the first time, Deng is proposing to crimp seriously the powers and privileges...
