English (Chinese: 英格力士; pinyin: Yīng Gé Lìshì) is a 2004 Chinese coming-of-age novel by Wang Gang, about a boy growing up during the Cultural Revolution in remote Ürümqi, home to many political exiles including the boy's intellectual parents.

Wang Gang wrote a sequel in 2012, titled Kashgar (喀什噶尔), which follows the protagonist in his late teens.

[1] Kirkus Reviews described the work as "a telling, appreciably non-Western narrative enriched by politics and poetry.

"[2] Spyra wrote that the decision of the English version to render major character names as translations instead of transliterations " lends the book an aura of an allegory, in the vein of Everyman or The Pilgrim’s Progress", and that the ending "surprises us".

"[1] A film adaptation directed by Joan Chen is currently in post-production.
