La piccola storia della grande famiglia Ji
L'antenato della famiglia Ji nasce nell'anno 4000 d.C. sulla Grande Isola delle tartarughe-maiale. Costretto, per amore di una donna, a lasciare l'isola mitica, Ji scopre sulla terra ferma l'immaginario cinese tradizionale, guerrieri favolosi e donne-pantera, la guerra civile, la Rivoluzione e la poesia. Attraverso la saga della famiglia Ji, Liu Sola narra la storia della Cina, con una lingua e una struttura originalissime che fondono insieme vari stili: miti, leggende, racconti fantastici, diari, canovacci teatrali, sceneggiature, giornali, documenti, canzoni. Il romanzo è un controcanto della storia ufficiale che rivela come questa sia piena di salti, omissioni e menzogne, e come, fin dai suoi esordi il Partito abbia divorato i suoi stessi figli.
