The Flowers of War

This book is the latest revised edition of the novel that inspired Zhang Yimou's film The Flowers of War, a classic example of Yan Geling's work. In December 1937, in Nanjing, the Chinese army defending the city collapsed. Wilson Chapel in the United States became a temporary refuge. An American priest, thirteen Qinhuai River singing girls, a group of female students seeking refuge, several displaced Chinese soldiers and wounded, and a group of Japanese officers and soldiers, in this cramped space, unfolded a turbulent story of national hatred... Those beautiful names, those beautiful women, those most harsh and vulgar words, those purest and kind souls, ultimately etched their mark on that scarred and bloodstained history. Yan Geling is a renowned American-based writer and professional Hollywood screenwriter. Her representative works include "The Convict," "The Ninth Widow," "Little Aunt Duohe," "A Woman's Epic," "Fusang," "The Scent of Heaven," "Young Fisherman," "Human World," "Female Grassland," and "The Flowers of War." Her works have been praised by critics as "the most artistically sophisticated works in recent years... Her novels possess a kind of expansive power, imbued with smell, hearing, vision, and heightened sensitivity."
