  • ""Lianke tramples on the sacrosanct taboos of the army, the revolution, sexuality, and political etiquette in this funny, subversive critique of official corruption, the hypocrisy of leadership, and the insanity of the cultural revolution"--Page 4 of cover."@en
  • "A model student in his regiment, Wu Dawang wants nothing more than to earn promotion and serve the people, working as hard as he can in the commander's home. But the latter's bored wife has other ideas. Their passion subverts sexual, political and revolutionary taboos in this deliciously comic satire."@en
