Depicts the life of a Chinese farming village over the 20th century through unique vantage point. Unbashful language, dark humour. It leaves a solid impression on your senses.

La historia es buenísima, los personajes (y su desarrollo) son increíbles, el cierre es brutal. De los que he leído este año, de mis favoritos.

Wonderful storytelling that spans many generations. There were some nuances I probably missed since I'm not familiar with Chinese culture.
