Description

Yahui's journey through university life is marked by the stories she tells herself and those around her. As a young Buddhist, she navigates a world where faiths coexist in the corridors of learning.

The lines between truth and story blur as Yahui encounters various deities and ideologies, all vying for attention in the classroom. Her days are filled with making papercuts and participating in tug-of-war competitions between faiths, all while trying to resist the temptation of secular life.

When she meets Mingzheng, a Daoist student, an inexorable romance takes hold, drawing Yahui into an allegorical world that reflects our own questions and struggles. This novel by Chinese master Yan Lianke is a thought-provoking exploration of faith, identity, and the power of stories.
