==Plot==
The story's protagonist is Ximen Nao, a benevolent and noble landowner in Gaomi county, Shandong province.〔Jonathan Spence, (Born Again ), New York Times, Sunday Review of Books, 4 May 2008.〕 Although known for his kindness to peasants, Nao is targeted during Mao Zedong's land reform movement in 1948 and executed so that his land could be redistributed.
Upon his death, Nao finds himself in the underworld, where Lord Yama tortures him in an attempt to elicit an admission of guilt. Nao retains that he is innocent, and as punishment, Lord Yama sends him back to earth where he is reborn as a donkey in his village on January 1, 1950. In subsequent reincarnations, he goes through life as a donkey, an ox, a pig, a dog, and a monkey, until finally being born again as a man.〔 Through the lens of various animals, the protagonist experiences the political movements that swept China under Communist Party rule, including the Great Chinese Famine and Cultural Revolution, all the way through to New Year's Eve in 2000.〔Steven Moore, (Animal Farm ), Washington Post, 25 May 2008.〕 The author, Mo Yan, uses self-reference and by the end of the novel introduces himself as one of the main characters.〔
