In “The Banquet,” she leverages this unique combination of qualities to give us, as if by magic, a story that is satirical, sentimental, hilarious, empathetic, whip-smart, biting, and soothing, all at the same time. The banquet of the title—spoiler alert—fizzles out, but the story is a delicious brew bubbling with effervescent life. Yang Zao, a humble bus driver, gets it in his head to invite a gang leader to dinner. He and his friends are convinced that the godfather-like Brother Rong can solve all their problems, whether related to money, health, or love, if only they can get on his good side. The banquet turns to a fiasco, and the emptiness and neediness at the core of these ambitions are laid bare, but with gentle humor; the story spares sympathy for these big dreamers, showing that Lu Min has a warm heart to match her cutting intellect. Lu Min’s tales of the countryside, often set in the village of Dongba, made a name for her in China and are loved by many. Her recent work, like “The Banquet” (2016), shows a new dimension of her talent, focusing on the lives of everyday people and the experiences of women in urbanizing China. “The Banquet” can be read as comedy and/or social commentary, suggesting questions like, do the saviors we believe in truly have the powers we think they do? Are dreams of modern urban wealth really desirable or within reach? Though the satire cuts, it has a warm, soft touch that could only be Lu Min’s, as if she clasps her readers’ hands beneath the table. This magical, heart-to-heart approach is one few other authors could pull off.

After futile attempts to hide from her degraded past, she determines to confront shame and speak out. She cuts off her ties to Zhaohu, now an officer in training, and falls in love with Ian. However, along with Pastor Billy’s accidental death and Ian’s permanent return to America, Ah Yan is left alone at the end of the war. She gives birth to a mixed-race daughter that she has with Ian and settles back in her home village. As Zhaohu escapes from the Nationalists’ retreat to Taiwan, she takes him in and exhausts herself saving him from imprisonment and caring for him until the last moment of his life. Like many of Zhang Ling’s earlier novels, A Single Swallow adopts a non-linear narrative that creates gripping suspense. The souls of the three men recount their piece of personal stories in retrospect from a first-person limited point of view. Their narrations complement and sometimes contradict each other, presenting diverse perspectives and cultural clashes in a Chinese rural village during its first encounter with the West. In contrast, Ah Yan, also called Stella and Wende (“Wind”) respectively by Pastor Billy and Ian, is curiously silenced; her words can only be occasionally heard through the subjective lens of male narrators. The absence of Ah Yan’s voice betrays the invisible discursive oppression of women in a patriarchal culture. Various genres of letter, journal, county record, and newspaper article are included to add a historical sense to the novel. In a unique narrative style, A Single Swallow compels readers to reflect on innocence and humanity through the prism of war.","PeriodicalId":29859,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Literature Today","volume":"9 1","pages":"86 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21514399.2020.1852034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41374109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
