'One of the masters of modern Chinese literature' Jung Chang A
searing novel that traces the destruction of a community in
communist China. Told through the eyes of Xiao Qiang, a young boy,
this deeply moving novel shares the tragic story of the
blood-contamination scandal in China's Henan province. Looking for
a way to lift Ding Village from poverty, its directors and
organisers open blood-plasma collection stations, hoping to sell
the plasma to those in need. At first the scheme is a commercial
success. Soon, however, whole communities are wiped out after
contracting HIV. As Xiao narrates the fate of Ding Village, his
family is torn apart by suspicion and retribution. 'The defining
work of his career... A devastating critique of China's runaway
development' Guardian
