Sand Bed (English Version of Sand Bed)

A masterpiece of realism depicting the situation of Chinese academia today, Sand Bed not only examines the surface exterior of contemporary society, but also projects the interior reality of modern humanity. A renowned Chinese critic, Dr. Wang Gan, writes: "The sources of Sand Bed lie in the wildness of human nature, in reverence for the human heart, in attention to detail and modest self-effacement, thus reappraising and confessing mankind's condition." Although this book revels in an intimate sensuality, a mood of deep pity and vivid feelings of guilt remain central to the narrative.
