Introduction · · · · · ·
"Brothers" is a subversive and shocking work written by Yu Hua after he stopped writing for ten years, following "To Live" and "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".
"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. The unlucky death of Li Guangtou's father brought Song Gang's father Song Fanping and Li Guangtou's mother Li Lan together. After the two got married, Li Guangtou and Song Gang, who were not related by blood, got along very well and were like one person. However, after their parents died and they grew up, they turned against each other because of a beautiful woman named Lin Hong, and since then they have embarked on completely different paths: one became a wealthy man with businesses all over the country; the other was poor and destitute... But even after many years, they still care about each other - even if the world turns upside down, they are still brothers; even if they are separated by life and death, they are still brothers.

The streets of Liuzhen were becoming increasingly chaotic, with revolutionary masses fighting almost every day. Bald Li didn't understand why these people, who all wore red armbands and waved red flags, were fighting each other. When they used their fists, flagpoles, and wooden sticks to fight, they looked like a group of jackals and tigers. Once, Bald Li saw them using kitchen knives and axes. Many people were covered in blood, and their bloodstains were left on wooden poles, sycamore trees, walls, and streets. Li Lan no longer let Bald Li go out. She was worried that Bald Li would slip out of the window, so she nailed it shut...
