About this product
Product Information
Originally banned in China but later named one of that nation's most influential books, a searing novel that portrays one man's transformation from the spoiled son of a landlord to a kindhearted peasant. "Awork of astounding emotional power." -Dai Sijie, author of Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress From the author of Brothers and China in Ten Words - this celebrated contemporary classic of Chinese literature was also adapted for film by Zhang Yimou. After squandering his family's fortune in gambling dens and brothels, the young, deeply penitent Fugui settles down to do the honest work of a farmer. Forced by the Nationalist Army to leave behind his family, he witnesses the horrors and privations of the Civil War, only to return years later to face a string of hardships brought on by the ravages of the Cultural Revolution. Left with an ox as the companion of his final years, Fugui stands as a model of gritty authenticity, buoyed by his appreciation for life in this narrative of humbling power.

Reviews
"A work of astounding emotional power." Dai Sijie, author of Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress "Yu Hua is the most profound voice coming out of China today. To Live reaches not only into the very essence of China and the Chinese people but into the blood and bones core of what it means to be a human being." Lisa See, author of On Gold Mountain "A Chinese Book of Job, To Live is a heart-wrenching saga, written with beauty, defiance, and hope. Yu Hua's books deserve a place on the highest shelf." Wang Ping, author of Aching for Beauty and Foreign Devil "A major contemporary novelist, Yu Hua writes with a cold eye but a warm heart. His novels are ingeniously structured and exude a mythical aura. Though unmistakably Chinese, they are universally resonant." Ha Jin, author of Waiting "A book of subtle power and poignant drama. You love Yu Hua's characters because they are flawed, vibrant, soulful, and real: you celebrate with them the small wonders of life, and feel their pain as they overcome tragedy. Ultimately, To Live is a redemptive story of the human spirit, one that is universal in its emotional depth."
