Chinese-British writer and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo visits Barcelona to mark the publication in Catalan of La Xina soc jo<\/a><\/em>, published by ICIP and Angle Editorial as part of the \u201cClassics of Peace and Nonviolence<\/a>\u201d collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The novel explores exile, identity, memory, and the tensions between language and belonging through the story of two Chinese lovers separated by political circumstances and forced to build their lives far from their home country. It also examines the tensions between political ideals and personal life, as well as the transformations that come with living between cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first of Xiaolu Guo\u2019s novels to be translated into Catalan. The translation was carried out by Jordi Punt\u00ed Recasens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
