Huozhe Part 1 (To Live)

Fugui and Jiazhen endure tumultuous events in China as their personal fortunes move from wealthy landownership to peasantry. Addicted to gambling, Fugui loses everything. In the years that follow he is pressed into both the nationalist and communist armies, while Jiazhen is forced into menial work. They raise a family and survive, managing "to live" from the 40's to the 70's in this epic, but personal, story of life through an amazing period.

I reccommend everyone who liked the movie to read the book.

It is really quite different, and it has been translated into English published by Anchor publishing co. Check out "To Live" by Yu Hua

This was such a gorgeous epic.... China's version of 'Gone with the Wind'.... I became very involved in the lives of these beautiful people... The part that really made me think was what they did to the doctor.
