WINNER OF THE 2010 MAN ASIAN LITERARY PRIZE Three sisters struggle
to change the course of their destinies in a China that does not
belong to them. Yumi uses her dignity, Yuxiu her seductive charms,
and Yuyang her desire for success. This breathtaking story vividly
captures the all-consuming desire for power in a society obsessed
with saving face. Whether it's in the Wang family village, where
lift is attuned to the rhythm of work and the slogans of the
Cultural Revolution, or in urban China of the 1980s, the sisters
are not prepared to be just another wave in the 'infinite ocean of
people'.
In a fit of jealousy, Xiao Yanqiu, star of "The Moon Opera",
disfigures her understudy with boiling water. Spurned by the
troupe, she turns to teaching. Twenty years later, "The Moon Opera"
is restaged, under the patronage of a rich local factory boss who
insists that Xiao Yanqiu return to the role of Chang'e. So she
does, this time believing she is the immortal moon goddess. Set
against the dramatic backdrop of the Peking Opera, this devastating
portrait shows the extent to which a desperate woman will embrace
an exalted image of herself in an effort to flee earthly concerns.
