His novels include Cries in the Drizzle (1991), To Live (1992, later made into a feature film by Zhang Yimou), and Chronicle of a Blood Merchant (1995). In 2005-6, his most recent novel Xiongdi (Brothers) was published in China, where it became an immediate best-seller. In this talk he will discuss and read from his latest book, a volume of essays entitled China in Ten Words, just published in English. In Chinese, with English interpretation.
