Yu Hua
Fabrica will be hosting Yu Hua, famous chinese writer contributor to Colors 74 "Victims", for a lecture on contemporary China. He will also present his latest best-seller "Brothers". Yu Hua was born in Hangzhou in 1960. The son of doctors, he spent many long afternoons of his childhood playing in hospital hallways. He still remembers the sight of bodies being taken to the mortuary or his father emerging from the operating room in a blood-stained gown. This is where he passed his apprenticeship as a writer. He is considered one of the finest chinese new-generation writers; his books have been translated into numerous languages including Italian, German, English, French, Dutch, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean. His works include The Past and the Punishments, Chronicle of a Blood Merchant, World Like Mist, To Live (which won the Grinzane Cavour prize and on which director Zhang Yimou based his film of the same title) and Cries in the Drizzle. His latest best-seller, Brothers, was recently published.
