This feels like the ying to Ha Jin's yang in "Nanjing Requiem".Geling's lead character/s is male whereas Ha Jin's is a female.
Geling's narrative about the infamous Nanjing incident is more vivid and much more cruel compared to Ha Jin's account and much more compact.
It's a toss up but I have to say I enjoyed Geling's novel more.
