The Sun Shines on the Sanggan River

This book is about the land reform struggle in rural North China in 1946. The author originally planned to write three parts in the novel: struggle, dividing the land, and joining the army. What was written later was the first part, but this part has a beginning and an end in structure and is an independent book, forming a complete novel. This novel is set in Nuanshuitun by the Sanggan River. It truly and vividly reflects the sharp and complex class struggle in rural areas during the land reform. It shows the different mental states of each class and allows readers to see that Chinese farmers have embarked on a bright road under the leadership of the Communist Party. This book collects ten short stories, novels and prose works by Ding Ling.
