When a stranger arrives to the funeral on a mule, he meets his own brutal death. In a short aside, the novel flashes forward to the gruesome scene of his grandmother's body being exhumed from its wartime mass grave to receive a proper burial. His grandmother was arranged to the wine-maker against her will, but she takes over when the speaker's grandfather murders her husband. To begin, an unnamed grandson of Commander Yu tells of the effects of the war on the family. Early on, the family makes sorghum wine, but as the Second Sino-Japanese War unfolds the family transitions.
Red Sorghum is a braided story with three different strands, in that the story combines elements of three different generations of the same family, the Shandong family. Written by people who wish to remain anonymous We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
