No Life Is a Pity

If Yu Hua's novels are world-renowned great works, then his prose more embodies his artistic thoughts and is closest to Yu Hua in real life. This book is a collection of Yu Hua's prose works. It is divided into three major chapters: "A Memory Returns", "Literature·Music·Travel" and "Living to Tell", which includes recollections and reflections on past events, unique insights into literature and music, what is seen, heard and felt during travel, as well as reflections on society and history as a whole. As Yu Hua said: "This is my writing, starting from the daily life of Chinese people, passing through politics, history, economy, society, sports, culture, emotion, desire, privacy, etc., And then returning to the daily life of Chinese people."
