Description
Hard Like Water by Yan Lianke is a blistering tale of love and revolution set against the tumultuous backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution. Aijun, a married soldier, and Hongmei, a beautiful young woman from his village, embark on a passionate affair that becomes all-consuming as they join the revolutionary struggle in their town. As their political activity reaches new heights, so does the danger of getting caught. The couple's fervent desire for change is matched only by their reckless abandon, leading them to hurl themselves into the heart of the revolution with reckless abandon. But as the stakes grow higher, their love becomes increasingly entwined with the fate of the nation. A scathing satire that explores the complexities of human desire and the brutal realities of revolutionary fervour, Hard Like Water is a riveting and unflinching portrayal of a pivotal moment in Chinese history.
