Caught by a soldier's bullet, he falls into a deep coma and when the hospital authorities discover he is an activist, his mother is forced to take him home. The millennium draws near and by the time he emerges from his coma China has undergone a massive transformation and Dai Wei realises that the rich imaginative world afforded to him as a coma patient is a startling contrast with the death-in-life of the world outside. http://www.paperbackbooks.com.au/books/0-7011-8267-9.shtml http://www.paperbackbooks.com.au/rss/0-7011-8267-9.xml Sunday 21
