Summary/Abstract: Over May 30 – June 31, 1965 writers Eugen Barbu and Alexandru Andritoiu visited China, where their less orthodox behavior caused discontent both among the hosts and at the Romanian diplomatic office in Beijing. They asked, for instance, to travel to such forbidden areas as the Tibet, they refused to visit the Library of the Academia Sinica and they left a performance of the play “Pilot Women” – a play with a contemporary revolutionary theme – soon after it had begun.
