China is ageing. Its shrinking households, overworked and overstretched, struggle to carry the burden of care for their elderly. Retired Beijing judge Uncle Xiao is one among millions of old-timers who face a hopeless choice: accept a lonely decline, or chase dubious 'miracle cures'. Then into his life steps Miss Zhong, a young rural nurse with her own share of problems. The two have little in common, but as time delivers tragedies they learn that family can take many forms. Will this unlikely pair weather life's storms together, and will Xiao find warmth in his sunset years?

At the age of 66, Ouyang Wantong, the former governor of Qinghe province, was too young to die. He touched the lives of so many people during his time on Earth. Some of them loved him intimately, while many more held him in the highest esteem. But there were also those who hated him and wished him dead. And now the battle to find his rightful place in the history books has begun…After the Finale is a fictional biography of an extraordinary man who grew up in poverty in China's Mao-era and then rose through the ranks of government during the country's period of reform and opening up. It's a tale of love, leadership, betrayal, corruption, lust, greed and the nature of power amid the rise of the 21st century's new superpower.

"Ning, my dear son, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye, but who expects to be struck down in their prime? I should have known that day on the basketball court would be the start of our trials, how the frantic dash between hospitals, from one cancer ward to the next treatment, would consume our lives.""Dad, don’t be sad. Perhaps it’s the different times we grew up in, but isn’t it inevitable? The earthy fields of your youth have turned into the concrete jungles of today. This journey has changed history, politics – even families. Why should dealing with loss be any different?" "Son, I agree with you, but no matter how things change, there is a central rule to the universe: the elders leave first; the youngsters leave later. I could have never imagined that the first death I experienced would be yours…"

This novel introduces us to the beautiful Bilan, who moved from a simple family to become the wife of the ruler's son. She encounters her husband's strange character for which she cannot find an explanation, and anyone can understand the extent of the grief that ignites in her bedroom every night. Every day a new conflict appears for her, forcing her to commit acts that she never imagined she would commit, all in order to satisfy her husband's desires. In the end, she is faced with the question: Is she guilty or a victim? In a dramatic epic that raises many questions and contemplations, the Chinese writer Zhou Daxin takes us between the chapters of the novel. Zhou Daxin won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, the most prestigious literary award in China. He also won the People's Literature Award in its third session and the Best Short Story Award in China, and many of his works have been turned into plays, films, and series. Translated from Chinese and provided by: Dr. Ahmed Zarif.
