★ "Brothers" shows the panorama of human emotions - from vulgarity, fanaticism, opportunism to love and inner greatness, almost all of them are included. In this small universe, no one is isolated and there is no privacy. Stories of courtship and shame, pain or death all happen openly on the street, making the novel itself a world theater. - "New Zürcher Zeitung"

★Yu Hua's sketch of contemporary Chinese society is unmatched in its sharpness and brutality. ——"Times"

★Although it is more than 600 pages long, it is fascinating and gripping. The violent vitality of Li Guangtou has foreshadowed the arrival of tragedy, and a sweaty, sharp-toothed monster seems to have emerged from the mythical world. This is a great work with dirt and dirt, which is undoubtedly comparable to the masterpieces of Zola, Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Rabelais. ——"Cox Review"

【Content Introduction】

"Brothers" tells the life story of two brothers, Li Guangtou and Song Gang, who live in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

This is a novel born from the encounter of two eras. The bond connecting the two eras is these two brothers. Their lives fission in fission, their sorrows and joys erupt in explosion, and their destinies are as earth-shaking as the two eras.

"Even if everything changes, we are still brothers."

Li Guangtou is a devil. I like this character. I like his richness and complexity. This character is inextricably linked to our times. It can be said that he is a product of our times. Song Gang is a "tragedy of conscience". He has always been someone else's shadow, first Li Guangtou's shadow, then Lin Hong's shadow, and finally he finally became independent, but he died.
