糖山 (Sugar Mountain and the Descendants of a Man and a Woman Who Died Building a Wall)

Sugar Mountain,糖山,was an imaginary and vast land walled in by a long wall built by its people who lived in it since a very long time ago - who had their own language, grew rice, had legends of dragons, made paper, silk and porcelain, sought the elixir of life, and whose women bound their feet - until their descendants witnessed, for the first time coming through their wall what was greater than all that was ever unleashed upon the land by its dragons in floods and famines. and by the internal battles and wars of its rulers...Told here for the first time is a uniquely insightful and freshly critical account of an enduring people in a broad and sweeping account of the significant historical events in the lives of their ancestors and descendants - as witnessed through the nostalgic, erotic and personal journey of a family torn forever apart by inexorable changes and events.
