The Great Dream of Chu and Han
by Liu Xiaobo
About This Novel
Fan Zeng I am a Chu native, born on the river, like many Chu natives. Our country of Chu has many rivers and lakes, and many people spend their lives on the rivers. Now I too am going to die on the river. This made me realize the passage of life most vividly. It is like a river, flowing forward regardless of day or night. My parents are fishermen and live on a boat. They rarely go to land because there are fish masters who will go to various fishing boats to collect the fish caught by the fishermen. This kind of life is very comfortable, and we don't have to work on the land all day long. My father's many years of experience in living on the water also ensures that we can live without worries about food and clothing. I was born that morning, with the sun rising slowly in the mist.
