A really thoughtful an quiet but analytical short story collection focusing on China's history and cultural norms, politics, social connections and relationships. As with any short story collection, some stories packed more punch than others, particularly Land of Big Numbers, Flying Machine, and Hotline Girl, and these are the ones that will stay with me longer.
