Description

One-Man's Bible is just a fictionalized account of Gao Xingjian's life underneath the Chinese Communist regime. Everyday life is riddled with paranoia and fear, and government propaganda becomes people against each other. It's a location in which a single-sentence spoken 10 years earlier could make one-an enemy of their state. But One-Man's Bible is also a profound meditation on the essence of writing, on exile, on the results of political oppression on the human spirit, and on the way the human spirit can triumph.
