我是我的神

In May 1949 Wulitu Gula, a 35-year-old Mongolian who commands a division of the People's Liberation Army, enters Hankou and meets Sanuya, an 18-year-old Tatar who came to China with her brother and studied in Yan'an and Moscow, a past for which she will one day be denounced as a Soviet agent. Barely a week and a half into the marriage he is off to the Korean front, handing her a note: she must fetch his son from the steppe. Shocked to learn he was married before, she still brings back the boy, Tianjian, whose mother was killed by a Mongol prince, and wins him over. Three sons of their own and three adopted orphans of fallen comrades follow, and the novel tracks the two generations through half a century of the People's Republic.
