Dai Wei has been unconscious for?almost a decade.?A medical student and a pro-democracy protestor in Tiananmen Square in June, 1989, he was?caught by a soldier's bullet and fell into a deep coma. As the millennium draws near, a sparrow flies through the window and lands on Dai Wei's naked chest, a sign that he must emerge from his coma. But China has also undergone a massive transformation while Dai Wei lay unconscious. As he prepares to take leave of his old metal bed, he realizes that the rich, imaginative world afforded to him as a coma patient is a startling contrast with the death-in-life of the world outside.
