Dream of Ding Village is a 2006 novel by the Chinese writer Yan Lianke. It is a story based on the blood sales in rural Henan province that sparked a major AIDS crisis in China, and after its first edition sold out, no further copies could be printed there; Yan Lianke has said in interviews that the book could have been better had he not self-censored to ensure it could be published, and the ban is reported to have been lifted in 2011. The 2011 English translation by Cindy Carter, published in the UK by Grove Press, was shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, and a 2011 film adaptation titled Love for Life, directed by Gu Changwei and starring Zhang Ziyi and Aaron Kwok, was also released in China.
