China in Ten Words - Yu Hua (read in English)
For some stuff by Ba Jin - most people recommend Family, but I liked 无政府主义与实际问题 (Anarchism and its Practical Problems) (read in Mandarin), 控诉 (I accuse) (read in Mandarin) - basically his non-fiction stuff.
I read from Lao She - Rickshaw Boy - in English.
From Fu Lei, I read his translation of The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell and some of Le Père Goriot by Balzac (alongside the original English and French).
Though the short story about Fu Lei resonates with me most (Death 死 by Chen Cun 陈村) in Mandarin.
Another great pick I read in English was The Chinese Western: Short Fiction From Today's China. I randomly found this at a secondhand book store, and I'm not sure how common it is to have the English translation around.
