One Hundred Years of Stubborn Dad
9.99 €
The hero of Fan Yiping's new novel, Daddy Stubborn, got his nickname at the age of fourteen, and his long, long life has only confirmed the validity of that nickname. Some called him a Buddha - but it takes a lot of stubbornness to remain a Buddha in twentieth-century China. A hundred years of wars, changes, reforms, revolutions. This is the story of a man who never once committed treachery.The author of the novel is Fan Yiping (b. 1964), a Zhuang by nationality, a native of the mountainous areas of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southwest China, and a graduate of Fudan University. He is the author of novels, novellas and short stories. The movie "The Missing Weapon", based on his script, became China's highest-grossing film in 2002 and brought the writer to the attention of the general public. In 2018, Fan Yiping's novel Tiandenshan Mountain was published in Russian by Hyperion Publishing.
