In the Pond is a 1998 novel by Ha Jin.
Overview
The novel centers on the character Shao Bin, a Chinese man working at a fertilizer plant, and his struggle to obtain a decent apartment for his young family.

Conflict ensues when Bin's struggle is met with counterattacks and opposition he could never have imagined.
Reception
Phyllis Alesia Perry, writing for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, found that despite this being Jin's first book, his "story-telling rarely missteps."[1]
