Gu Hua creates characters which are as real as any I've read, and yet which follow a well crafted plot without seeming to be dragged along by the author's leash. Particularly interesting is Gu Hua's style of tossing all his characters into the same boat.
They all have their risings and fallings, even those characters who enter magnificently and require applause--in moments they become despicable people, and later return to your good graces. I have read few books which treated so many characters with such fairness. The villain, if there is one, does seem to be a person of more despicable light than is acceptable, but Gu Hua does not overdo it well maybe once, but this is forgivable.
I'm tempted to say that the story has more twists than the most popular movie in Hollywood, but the characters' changes of fortune are no more "twists" than are the everyday moments of elation and depression of any person. Read this book if you want a light, but deep, commentary on the Cultural Revolution, specifically from a Chinese perspective.
