Book synopsis

Yu Li, is an inspector at a fake wine distillery in a small town without any tall buildings in China's Hebei province. After he is fired for drinking the wine during his inspections, Yu Li manages to land another job as an elevator operator in a luxury apartment building in the far-off capital, Beijing. The apartment building is home to the winners in the new China: celebrities, the new rich and big-shot officials. Misadventures abound as Yu Li struggles to adjust to the confusion of city life and, above all, fights to subdue the 'nuclear weapon' in his pants. The Modern Chinese Masters series aims to highlight Chinese authors and genres of fiction that are often ignored by Anglophone publishers. Each of the titles has been chosen for its ability to surprise and challenge preconceptions about Chinese writing. The series includes leading Chinese writers such as Li Er who have never previously been translated into English. Each title in the series includes a translated novella, an essay introducing the author, and a specially commissioned authorial foreword.
