The Corpse Walker: Real Life Stories from China's Margins This book presents the stories of ordinary Chinese people, often overlooked by history, who have managed to maintain their dignity despite facing incredible hardships. Liao Yiwu's interviews with these individuals reveal a fascinating aspect of modern China, offering a fresh perspective on life in the country. Through his conversations, Liao Yiwu humanises the lives of those at the margins of society, from a professional mourner to a grave robber, and brings their stories to light.

By sharing these real-life stories, Liao Yiwu creates a compelling narrative that is both thought-provoking and surprising.
