Sunday evening live broadcast | "Farmers Empire" English version online sharing meeting

A "Director of the Qiao Factory" made Jiang Zilong the founder of Chinese reform and opening up theme literature. With the change of the times, he launched the first novel of farmers in 2008- "Farmers Empire", and the writing of this book spent 11 years. This is another masterpiece that has been working hard for more than ten years. The book takes 30 years of reform and opening up as the background, with the development of Guojiadian as a blueprint. With Guo Cunxian's experience as a clue, it describes a group of peasants' ups and downs changes. The impact on human nature.

"Farmer Empire" is the longest novel that Jiang Zilong has spent the longest time in his life. Jiang Zilong, who wrote many famous works on the subject of industries and social themes, spent his childhood in rural areas and thought that he was a farmer in his own bones, but he had no peasant theme. Therefore, the publishing of this novel that has been accumulated for many years can be described as a wish of Jiang Zilong.

In 2019, the book was translated into English by Olivia Milburn (Mi Omin) and Christopher Neil Payne and was published by the British Chasi Publishing House.
