1015. Zambia, 2008 The day Jonathan Kalunga was born he caused the dismay of his mother and of the rest of the family because he is half Chinese. Vivien, the mother, had worked for some months in a Chinese restaurant in Kitwe, the main city of Zambia’s Copperbelt, where the Chinese have massively invested in the copper mines. The father, known as Cheng You, disappeared without leaving an address. Five years later Jonathan is still rejected by his family and lives with his grandparents in a far away and marshy village where he has contracted malaria.
