An infrastructure for self-organising
An attempt to bridge something in the in-betweeness
“Revolutionary Tofu”, through the clue of soy, attempts to resurface the historical threads of Chinese anarchy in the early 20th century and the transnational flow in the making of it, weaves between France and China, from Manchukuo to São Paulo. Revolutionaries from different regions encountered one another in various historical amoments, quietly opening up an alternative path that history might have taken.
The story was first published in 44 Monthly (September 2022) in China , revised, translated and printed in Berlin in 2024.

《豆腐前史》是以大豆为线索，基于20世纪初期中国安那其跨国流动的历史线头进行的半虚构创作。故事在法国与中国间穿梭，又从满洲国来到圣保罗，来自不同地区的革命者在不同历史时刻相遇，思潮也在流动中形塑，悄悄打开历史本可能走向的另一种前景。
故事最初发表于《44月报》第九期（2022年9月印刷），2024年翻译、修订后于柏林重印。
