★Brothers presents the panorama of human emotion—from vulgarity, fanaticism, and opportunism to love and inner greatness, and it's all inclusive. In this small universe where no one is alone and there is no privacy, stories of courtship and shame, pain or death take place openly in the streets, making the novel itself a world theater. —— "New Zurich Zeitung"

★Yu Hua's sketches of contemporary Chinese society are unparalleled in sharpness and brutality. ——Time Magazine

★Although it is more than 600 pages long, it is fascinating and exciting. Baldy Li's violent vitality has heralded the arrival of tragedy, and a sweaty, sharp-toothed monster seems to have shown a hideous face from the mythical world. It is a grimy work of greatness, unquestionably on a par with the masterpieces of Zola, Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Rabelais. — "Cox Review"

【brief introduction】

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

This is a novel born after two eras met. The link between these two eras is the two brothers. Their lives are fissioned in fission, their sorrows and joys are erupted in explosions, and their fate is the same as these two eras. Earth turned upside down.

"It's earth-shattering and generous, we are still brothers."

Baldy Li is a demon king, I like this character. I like his richness and complexity. This character is inextricably linked with our era, and it can be said that he is a product of our era. Song Gang is a "tragedy of conscience". He has always been the shadow of others, first Baldy Li's shadow, then Lin Hong's shadow, and finally he became independent, but he was heading towards death.
