A very delightful read for anyone interested in modern Chinese sensibilities. Yu Hua captures in his characters the country's struggles to blend old, traditional sensibilities with modernization and growth. I enjoyed the story of the two brothers as they each in their own way cope with China's increasing freedoms and work to build a life in a country where change is the constant. Sometimes stiff and almost silly in the translation, still a worthy read for modern Chinese thinking.
