В книге "Устал рождаться и умирать" выдающийся китайский романист современности Мо Янь продолжает свое грандиозное летописание истории Китая XX века, уникальным образом сочетая грубый натурализм и высокую трагичность, хлесткую политическую сатиру и волшебный вымысел редкой художественной красоты. Во время земельной реформы 1950 года расстреляли невинного человека — с работящими руками, сильной волей, добрым сердцем и незапятнанным прошлым. Гордую душу, вознегодовавшую на своих убийц не примут в преисподней — и герой вновь и вновь возвратится в мир, в разных обличиях будет ненавидеть и любить, драться до кровавых ран за свою правду,…

Today's most revered, feared, and controversial Chinese novelist offers a tour de force in which the real, the absurd, the comical, and the tragic are blended into a fascinating read.

However, during Mao's Land Reform Movement of 1948, he is not only stripped of his land and worldly possessions but cruelly executed, despite his protestations of innocence.

Ximen Nao, a landowner known for his generosity and kindness to his peasants, is not only stripped of his land and worldly possessions in Mao's Land Reform Movement of 1948, but is cruelly executed, despite his protestations of innocence. He goes to Hell, where Lord Yama, king of the underworld, has Ximen Nao tortured endlessly, trying to make him admit his guilt, to no avail. Finally, in disgust, Lord Yama allows Ximen Nao to return to earth, to his own farm, where he is reborn not as a human but first as a donkey, then an ox, pig, dog, monkey, and finally the big-headed boy Lan Qiansui. Through the earthy and hugely entertaining…

莫言怀抱华美颓败的土地，决意对半个世纪的土地做出重述。莫言郑重地将土地放在记忆的丰碑前，看着它在历史中渐渐荒废并确认它在荒废中重新获得庄严、熔铸、锋利。 《生死疲劳》是一部向中国古典小说和民间叙事的伟大传统致敬的大书。在这次神圣的“认祖归宗”仪式中，小说将六道轮回这一东方想象力草灰蛇线般隐没在全书的字里行间，写出了农民对生命无比执著的颂歌和悲歌。 地主西门闹一家和农民蓝解放一家的故事充满了吊诡和狂热，唏嘘和罹难。当转世为人的“大头儿”终于执著坚定地叙述时，我们看到了一条生气沛然的人与土地、生与死，苦难与慈悲的大河，流进了我们的心田。 在莫言对伟大古典小说呼应的那一刻，聆听到了“章回体”那最亲切熟悉的大音；莫言承受着生死疲劳的磨砺以及冤缠孽结，将中国人百感交集、庞杂喧哗的苦难经验化为纯美准确的诗篇，祈祷祖国庄严、宁静、祈望人类丰沛的生命祥和、自然。
