Description

In this exploration of life on the fringes of society in modern China, the author brings forth a tapestry of voices that reveal the struggles and resilience of marginalized individuals. Through compelling interviews, readers are introduced to a diverse array of characters, each sharing their distinct experiences and insights. A prostitute navigating the complexities of her daily life, a corpse washer confronting the realities of death, and a Buddhist monk reflecting on spiritual practices amidst chaos—all contribute to a profound understanding of existence at the societal edge.

The narrative is both raw and poignant, shedding light on the human condition as seen through the eyes of those often overlooked. These personal stories underscore the themes of survival, dignity, and the pursuit of meaning in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving. By giving a voice to the voiceless, the work fosters a deeper appreciation for the diverse fabric of human experience in contemporary China, prompting readers to reflect on their own perceptions of society and belonging.
