A Chinese Life (French: Une vie chinoise) is a 2012 French graphic novel co-written by Li Kunwu and Philippe Ôtié and illustrated by Li Kunwu.
The book describes Li Kunwu's life during the Cultural Revolution.
[3] Li Kunwu (born 1955),[4] an artist, received a proposal to make a graphic novel about his life in 2005.
[6] Clément Benech of Libération described it as somewhat of an equivalent of Vie Française by Jean-Paul Dubois.
[7] James Smart of The Guardian wrote that "This ambitious graphic novel pulls you to the chest of the world's latest superpower, shows you something of what it has gained and lost, and lets you go, 60 years later, drained and intrigued and feeling as though you know China's great, tangled present a little bit better.
