‘One of the masters of modern Chinese literature’ Jung Chang
This gripping dystopia contrasts the reality of life in China today
with the sunny optimism of the ‘Chinese dream’.
One dusk in early June, in a town deep in the Balou mountains,
fourteen-year-old Li Niannian notices that something strange is going
on. As the residents would usually be settling down for the night,
instead they start appearing in the streets and fields. There are
people everywhere.
Li Niannian watches, mystified. Until he realises the people are
dreamwalking, carrying on with their daily business as if the sun
hadn’t already gone down. And before too long, as more and more people
succumb, in the black of night all hell breaks loose.
Set over the course of one night, The Day the Sun Died pits chaos and
darkness against the bright ‘Chinese dream’ promoted by President Xi
Jinping. We are thrown into the middle of an increasingly strange and
troubling waking nightmare as Li Niannian and his father struggle to
save the town, and persuade the beneficent sun to rise again.
