Reseña: Chengdu Central China 1919. The brothers Gao Juexin Juemin and Juehui live according to the traditions their family has followed for centuries. Four generations now live under the same roof which gives Grandfather Gao the clans patriarch a special pride. In the great family house the older members continue their unmoved lives as if nothing were changing as if General Zhangs troops preparing a new attack at the gates of the city could not reach them as if the new airs from books and magazines werent transforming their existence. The three Gao brothers are in agreement that the old traditions arranged marriage outdated rituals and foot binding and long hair requirements for women lack meaning but not everyone has the strength necessary to rebel. Published for the first time in 1931 Familia portrays the disintegration of Feudalism in China at the beginning of the 20th century and is considered one of the most important works of contemporary Chinese literature.
