Features: The novel "Big Breasts and Wide Hips" won the highest "Nadam Literature Prize" in Chinese history in 1997, receiving a prize of 100,000 yuan. It had a wide impact on readers and also sparked significant controversy. It was subsequently translated into foreign languages, including Japan, Vietnam, Italy, and other countries. This edition is a newly supplemented version, adding 80,000 words to the original work, further expanding the storylines that were not fully developed in the previous version, making it richer than the old edition. The design and layout are also masterfully executed by Wu Guoying, the director of the Bookbinding Department at Tsinghua University and a renowned illustration artist. The novel passionately praises the greatness, simplicity, and selflessness of life's original creators—the mothers, as well as the unparalleled significance of the continuation of life (in the novel, this is embodied in the reproduction and proliferation of "species"). Amidst this flow of life, the smoke of history and war lingers, presenting a true and unbiased portrayal of a period in history.
