The kitchen of the revolution

Two unlikely friends—a political propaganda writer and a professional blood donor—meet every week for dinner. During a drunken night, the writer narrates the stories he truly wishes he could write. Inside his head lives an unwritten book, full of intense characters, with much to say about the real China. The Kitchen of Revolution is a virtuoso display of "red humor" in a tragicomic novel about the absurdities and cruelties of life in modern China.
