The Man Who Sold His Blood

Xu Sanguan was born into a difficult life: his father died when he was a child, and his mother left him after marrying another man. Raised by his grandfather and uncle, Xu Sanguan is now a young worker working in a silk factory in the city. One day, while visiting his uncle, he sells his blood with the help of two friends who went to sell blood. He decides to get married because he believes he should only spend the money he gets for his family. He marries Xu Yulan and has three sons. He is shaken when the truth about his eldest son, Yile, is revealed. The story of Xu Sanguan, who never gave up the struggle and made his veins draw blood as if he were drawing water from a well whenever he was in trouble during difficult and society-upsetting periods such as the Cultural Revolution, also includes many oddities about life.

Just as blood spreads throughout the body with a single beat of the heart, Yu Hua, in this extraordinary story that he tells with simple but masterful sentences, literally reaches the capillaries of the human soul and life.

One of Yu Hua's most important works, The Man Who Sold His Blood, whose novel Living was previously published, was translated by Erdem Kurtuldu from the original Chinese.
