Anyone here read To Live by Yu Hua? I just watched the movie and it was stunning. Im looking to read the english translation of this book but since Im Chinese i'd like to eventually pick up my mother tongue again and read the book. Any anons read this books in its original language or the english translation and have any comments about it?
