Yan Lianke recommends
Hospital (2023)
(Hospital , book 1)
Han Song
"The darkness contained within Hospital expresses the author's desperation with mankind's attempts at self-treatment and salvation. The novel's completely unbridled narrative path sets out in the direction of science fiction but ultimately arrives at the spiritual abyss lurking in the reality of today's China - and the rest of the world."
Cocoon (2022)
Zhang Yueran
"The twists and absurdities of Chinese history circle each other across time. In the most personal way, Cocoon charts a pathway through individual and collective memory, through the most hidden fissures and bonds between young people and their parents. With exquisite, precise and lyrical language, the novel sets the benchmark for younger authors seeking to write about history and individuals, proving once again that Zhang Yueran's writing surpasses and distinguishes itself from that of her contemporaries."
A Snake Lies Waiting (1957)
(Condor Heroes, book 3)
Jin Yong
"Jin Yong's stories have been passed down in the East from generation to generation and thus nurture people of all ages."
