Update: watched it with my gf (who hasn’t read the book). We both liked it.
It skips over the Cultural Revolution opening pretty much entirely and goes right into Wang’s perspective, then ends a little after his first meeting with the military. Subs are solid (a lot of dialogue is directly lifted from the book!) but go a little fast. Looking forward to watching the rest of it.
How much of the book does this episode cover?
