Publisher's Note
Li Rui breathes life into China's monumental modern history in this vibrant saga of the Li and Bai clans - their romances, betrayals, intrigues, and power struggles. Set in Silver City, a provincial salt-mining town, the narrative takes us from the pre-Communist 1920s - a courtly era of sedan chairs and teahouses, white gardens and poetic scrolls - to the student farmers and high-born tractor drivers of the Communist takeover, to the violent liberations of the Cultural Revolution and beyond. Silver City is populated by a striking array of characters, among them Bai Ruide, the challenger to the Li salt empire, who wields such Western weapons as corporate raids and bank mergers; Lady Yang, his scheming wife, who imports a concubine to bear him a son; Li Naizhi, the unwilling salt heir, who abandons his family for Communism; and his sister, Li Zihen, whose self-sacrifice, loyalty, and endurance ultimately express both the suffering and the strength of China itself. For all the characters who come to life in this sweeping epic - Buddhist ascetics and spoiled schoolgirls, revolutionary martyrs and corrupt militarists - future and fortune are prey to China's relentless cycle of revolutions, counterrevolutions, massacres, and bloodbaths.

Industry Reviews
"Through his saga of two families struggling to survive the turmoil of China's history and the constant clash of new ideas with ancient tradition, Li Rui provides a rare look at revolution and daily life in [that country]."
