3/5 – Good time travel in Germany 30's. Vice and police suspense/crime story with a lot of surprises, The communist push in Berlin adds an interesting background
2.5/5 – Yes there is also illegal immigration out of Europe/USA, with it's cortege of misery and immigration smugglers. While religion is kept out, the socio–cultural differences are a shock. Tenderness makes a good balance
3/5 – Original title: Tian zhu ding (Destiny). – Interesting peek on modern China life – Pessimistic with some hope, but definitively not the Party's propaganda book, which makes it valuable to see.
