Synopsis of La strada celeste
A principios de los años sesenta, China se vio sacudida por una historia a medio camino entre la crónica y la leyenda: el rumor de que un médico chino destinado en el Tíbet había sido sacrificado en un antiguo rito de 'entierro celestial'. Xinran, conmovida por este relato desde su juventud, narra la extraordinaria odisea de Shu Wen, una mujer que pasó décadas en las inhóspitas tierras altas tibetanas buscando al hombre que amaba. Tras recibir una carta que anunciaba la muerte de su marido, Shu Wen se niega a aceptar la tragedia y decide alistarse en el ejército para descubrir la verdad. Esta obra es un viaje profundo por la cultura tibetana y una conmovedora historia de amor, pérdida y perseverancia espiritual en uno de los entornos más extremos del mundo.
