China Dream by Ma Jian
Set against the backdrop of modern-day China, this satirical novel delves into the life of a high-ranking government official who is tasked with promoting the "China Dream," a nationalistic vision aimed at rejuvenating the country's global standing. As he navigates the intricacies of power and propaganda, he is haunted by memories of his past, which starkly contrast with the utopian ideals he is supposed to champion. The narrative explores themes of memory, identity, and the tension between personal conscience and political ambition, offering a poignant critique of the pursuit of a collective dream at the expense of individual truths.
