Balzac og den lille kinesiske syersken

Balzac og den lille kinesiske syersken er en roman av Dai Sijie, som ble publisert i fransk originalspråk i 2000 «Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise» og senere oversett til en rekke språk, og dessuten filmatisert i 2002 (Xiao cai feng). Boken er tildels selvbiografisk. Rammen er kulturrevolusjonens Kina, da unge studenter og tidligere rødegardister ble sendt ut på landsbygda for å lære av massene, som det het.
