About This Novel

"The River that Divides Life" describes in one million words the chronological history of China's social development and changes in people's lifestyles over the past thirty years from the 1980s to today's reform and opening up. The novel begins in a small town called Jiajiawan on the Loess Plateau. With the continuous exploitation of local coal resources and large amounts of foreign investment, the desires of the locals are like a river breaking free from its course. The author uses the length and "ambition" of Sholokhov's "Quiet Don" to describe the ideological fission of life, death and lust in several generations in the long river that divides human life.
