A dive in the tumult of modern China

A book that through a simple and beautiful story reveals acute and unvarnished modern China through its transformations and its dizzying evolution. Style is also very interesting because it wants to be the narration of a "Chinese" and not the critical eye of a Western. Once started, this book is dense and intense hard stops, descriptions "punches" to the fabric of the story, the intensity of this story never leaves the reader indifferent. Great rigor on the fairness with reality in China is also very commendable. An uncompromising book, captivating, moving and true! Of Chinese and immersed in this culture through work and private life Originally, I must say that I was really amazed by this novel, high sensitivity and veracity.
So I ordered "The Promise of Shanghai" by the same author!

To note: I put 5 stars being unable to put 4.5, perfection in terms of novel being subject to subjectivity and can only be attributed to some very rare works.
