Shattered to discover that his favorite son was actually born of a liaison between his wife and a neighbor, he suffers his greatest indignity, while his wife is publicly scorned as a prostitute. Although the poverty and betrayals of Mao's regime have drained him, XU Sanguan ultimately finds strength in the blood ties of his family. With rare emotional intensity, grippingly raw description of place and time, and clear-eyed compassion, YU Hua gives us a stunning tapestry of human life in the grave particulars of one man's days.

        by Xianhui Yang, Katrin Buchta, Huang Wen

        China Ende der fünfziger Jahre: Maos »Großer Sprung nach vorn« endet in der größten Hungerkatastrophe der Geschichte. Überall im Land werden die alten Eliten massenhaft als »Rechtsabweichler« in Umerziehungslagern interniert, so auch in dem abgelegenen Ort Jiabiangou. Bis in die neunziger Jahre blieb das Massensterben, das sich dort abspielte, politisches Tabu. Dann begann Yang Xianhui, nach Überlebenden zu fahnden und ihnen in feinfühligen Protokollen Stimme und Gesicht zu geben. Das Buch, das dabei entstand, ist eine kleine Sensation: Erstmals sprechen die Opfer selbst, berichten über die alltäglichen verlorenen und gewonnenen Kämpfe um ihre Menschlichkeit.
