Yu Hua’s novel «To Live,» published in Harvest in 1992 and by Writers Publishing House in 2008, has sold over 7 million copies to date and has become a classic of contemporary Chinese literature. The sheer excellence of his novels has overshadowed the brilliance of his exquisite short and medium-length stories, which are, in fact, just as excellent as his novels, masterpieces worth rereading. Yu Hua’s interrogation of fate, exploration of human nature, and reverence for nature in these short and medium-length stories reveal his boundless compassion for life and profound reflections on reality. It includes 12 short stories written by Yu Hua, the author of the contemporary Chinese classic «To Live» between 1986 and 1998, including «Explosion in the Sky», «Bounce Game», «Why Is There No Music», «Why Should I Get Married», «Appendix», «I Don’t Have My Own Name», «Hot Summer», «On the Bridge», «Their Son», «Boy in the Twilight», «Woman's Victory» and «Friends».
