Yu Hua, a representative writer of the avant-garde literary upsurge of the mid 1980s and 1990s, comes out with his long anticipated novel, The Seventh Day.
The story is about a man's seven-day tour after his death. The leading character in the book, dies in an accident but can't afford the expensive cemetery. So he becomes a solitary drifting soul without a burial place. Hence he starts his seven-day infernal wandering during which he meets other dead souls who like him. Meeting them enables him to experience a series of absurdities, which are actually a reflection of real occurrences in the daily lives of Chinese people.
It hinting at recent social realities fill the there's the "rat tribe (who can only afford to live in dark and messy basements in big cities due to high rents)," police being killed by vengeful criminals, and the illegal but rampant underground kidney selling business of the past. In the book, Yu Hua creates a fair and caring infernal world to strike a sharp contrast with the real world.
