Description
Beijing Comrades by Beitong is a powerful and poignant novel about forbidden love in late-eighties China. When two young men from different worlds meet, their instant attraction sets off a chain of events that challenges their loyalties and identities. Set against the backdrop of sociopolitical unrest, this riveting tale explores the complexities of gay sexuality and the totalitarian government's response to it. Originally published anonymously on an illegal gay-themed website in mainland China, Beijing Comrades has become a cult classic due to its unflinching portrayal of homophobia and daily life in rapidly changing China. This heart-wrenching novel is a traditional story of forbidden love, full of wonderful and devastating moments that linger long after the final page is turned.
