Advanced: Jia Pingwa (贾平凹) is one of China’s modern literary greats. I don’t know how he crammed so many insights on the human condition into a few paragraphs about a rock, but he undeniably did. #learnchinese #mandarin chinesereadingpractice.com/2…

New beginner post: A bite-sized story with repetitive sentence structure which seems to be about a fickle monkey who can’t focus long enough to enjoy his meal, but which is actually a gut-wrenching satire of my entire life. #learnchinese #mandarin chinesereadingpractice.com/2…

Advanced: Yu Hua (余华) is for sure my favorite author of #Chinese modern lit. He writes the lives of ordinary village people, and like all great village-based fiction, the stories are full of vulgar realism, as you will soon see. #learnchinese #mandarin chinesereadingpractice.com/2…
