An old man tells his life story to a traveler, which took place during the Cultural Revolution in China. A very simple story that I read very quickly, but one that I think will stay with me. The old man, Fugui, faces so many struggles in his life, through which he grows and is humbled. This story was banned in China when it was written (I assume for the negative light it shines on Mao and the revolution), but is now ranked as one of the top ten most influential books in China. I'm very glad that I read it.
