The English version of Liu Jiming's Black and White was published in the United States in April 2025. This is a great event, and this site is dedicated to the epic masterpiece.

 What makes the novel unique? The novel's core theme is to expose the black-and-white reversal of reality brought to Chinese society by the capitalist restoration implemented by the revisionist ruling group. The author possesses a unique courage to sacrifice oneself for the country. Daring to challenge today's distinctive socialism as the core theme of contemporary history writing takes extraordinary bravery. Although it is a peak work of people's realism, describing purely objective facts, besides Liu Jiming, who would have the courage to spend five years and 1.2 million words breaking through the public opinion network woven by official literary figures at all levels, to speak the truth that only a small boy in a fable would dare to reveal?  Therefore, the mainland China version was banned immediately after publication in November 2024, restricting the author's ability to publish works domestically, give speeches, or even travel abroad. 

However, after the original Chinese version of Black and White was published in Hong Kong in April 2023, it immediately caused a sensation. The Hong Kong edition was reprinted 4 times. Besides the print version, the author provided it for free to various platforms and numerous self-media outlets for serialization and broadcasting, allowing countless readers to appreciate this masterpiece. The novel resonated deeply with non-elite readers, being acclaimed as "a visual history of contemporary Chinese social development" and "a book of outcry from the oppressed," and also received widespread critical acclaim, with scholars noting that it succeeds in depicting an era that rivals Tolstoy’s. Like War and Peace, Black and White transcends mere historical documentation to become a profound meditation on human nature and social change.
