I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

If you're looking for a graphic novel about contemporary Chinese history, more specifically from the creation of the People's Republic of China to today's China, you just found it! Li Kunwu, in collaboration with Philippe Ôtié, recounts his personal story as well as the history of his country. It's a very intimate story, I found very interesting the pages about the creation process of this book.
