Interpretation Conducive To Books Frog

Mo Yan chronicles the sweeping history of modern China through the lens of the nation’s controversial one-child policy.

Frog opens with a playwright nicknamed Tadpole who plans to write about his aunt. In her youth, Gugu—the beautiful daughter of a famous doctor and staunch Communist—is revered for her skill as a midwife. But when her lover defects, Gugu’s own loyalty to the Party is questioned. She decides to prove her allegiance by strictly enforcing the one-child policy, keeping tabs on the number of children in the village, and performing abortions on women as many as eight months pregnant.

Write Up Epithetical Books Frog

I couldn't be happier to have "Frog" be my entry point into contemporary Chinese literature. Mo Yan gives an at times brutal account of the real impact of China's one-child policy on rural communities during the late twenty-first century. It is enlightening to see behind the generally benign and optimistic rhetoric. The goals seem noble, but the execution of these policies by local party cadre was at best brutal, at worst outright predatory. This book is a look at the clash between progress and

I grew up under the One-Child Policy. My parents were luckier because the place they were in allowed each Han Chinese family to have two kids. None of my other relatives, close or remote, had any drama due to having a second child. So, before reading this book, I never gave it a second thought what the policy really means. It means some policy implementers, like Gu-Gu in the novel, ruthlessly killed many unborn, even big-monthed, babies; it means that some moms faced great danger or even died

I read this one in the German edition which came out last year. It was a challenging read both since it lacked an ongoing thrill and the names were a bit confusing for me. However, it was also a very interesting read about China's history starting in times before the cultural revolution. The main focus of the book is the life of a midwife/gynecologist who helps to bring thousands of babies into the world, but also works along with the politics of the one-child rule and ends the lives of as many

3.5. Easily a 5 for the subject matter, but a difficult laborious 'read' as rather disjointed and use of similar Chinese names made it tiring to try to keep the characters in order. May also have suffered in translation from Chinese. Parts of the book clearly merit a 5 rating. Deals with the ramifications of the one-child policy in Communist China. Descriptions of old midwifery practices, then more modern midwifery humane practices based on science, and then transition to the 'one-child policy'



This book made me think of a Chinese opera-bigger than life characters, lots of tragedy and comedy. I could imagine the story onstage with actors in lots of stage makeup and colorful costumes. Now, I've never seen a Chinese opera, only bits and pieces, so my idea might be all wrong, but that's the way it felt to me. It's about the goings-on in a small rural village in China from the post WWII period until the 1980's, and in particular it's the story of the narrator's aunt, an obstetrician who

I received Frog as a Goodreads Giveaway.The topics covered in the novel are intriguing and after a chaotic start, Frog hit its stride briefly with the set up of the narrators aunts fiancé defecting from China and her disastrous attempt to prove her loyalty to the Party by enforcing Chinas one child policy. Were introduced to themes like mandatory vasectomies and IUD placements, underground surrogates, forced late term abortions and the societys overwhelming preference for male babies. However,
