Emma “Mused Seed Inn”
A flower of chivalrous ideal
This is a novel with a novel narrative and novel Komiks, which blends traditional martial arts stories with modern social life, trying to reconstruct a transcendent chivalrous new world in the secular world. The strongest feeling when I first read this novel is that it is “fresh and lovely”. Xiao Wan, the owner of Mustard Inn, can be called an ideal flower full of chivalrous spirits blooming among secular sentient beings.
The novel fully establishes the character Xiao Wan in this cross-narrative between reality on the shore and the high shore. She is an “escaper” with a sense of life and pain in urban life, and is also a “bystander” of the restless and uneasy souls in our current social life. The novel has a ease of writing, a lofty style, and has “the beauty of literature and the truth of thought”, which ultimately points to the issue of human soul exile and placement.

Chen Chongzheng’s “Remembering the Power of Guanyin”
A new experience for writers born in the 1980s
If the increasingly bizarre situation has caused the heroine’s inner belief to collapse. When she wants to get rid of her “shaking life”, she can only destroy herself in a simple and cruel way.
Survival state is the theme of literature creation, and it will never be easy, but it is precisely because of a good work. The transcendent cognitive and guiding role that Komiks can achieve is irreplaceable, which makes this theme the goal of writers’ pursuit and competition.
Chen Chongzheng’s novel brings us surprises. With his unique imagination and pioneering narrative style, Babaylan and through in-depth thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…”, he disassembled and reassembled real life, opening up a channel of enlightenment for readers.

Chan Goodbye “The Circus is ComingKomiks Will Coming”
The spiritual room for middle-aged people in the small town
The young Chen Goodbye is well-known in the literary world for a series of “county town novels”.
He is still a young man at present, but he has extended his brushstrokes to the front of his age. CinemaIt’s just this timeCinema, he used the situation of the young people he was good at in the squeeze of material survival as a grid of specific backgrounds and details of the characters who grew up further, and emerged from his livelihood, just like a tenacious spider who also looked into the sky during the rainy season – “The Circus is Coming” so he showed a strange spirit, we Komiks got a good novel with “coming soon” as the driving force of time and space.
Not only that, the intertextuality between “circus” and people in small towns is another profound meaning in the novel. Can imagined stories really transcend specific life? The fact that there is originally something that needs to be “not to be said” is what is the meaning of the novel trying to “speak”? The difference between the spirit of young people and the enthusiasm of middle-aged people is probably because middle-aged people begin to assume spiritual room and want to use this to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that they once had.

Chi Zijian’s “Steamed Horse Boots”
The value in the life genealogy
Chi Zijian As an excellent writer who has been in the literary world for many years, he seems to have few short stories in recent years. The short story “Stewed Horse Boots” has a bit of a deep and profound meaning.
In a short time, Chi Zijian incorporated many elements such as history and reality, war and human nature, animals and human beings, and wrote the desolation of history and the warmth of human nature. In the heavy snow all over the sky, Chi Zijian’s graceful and calm brushstrokes still maintain her unique softness and considerate even though she shows the coldness and cruelty in a hostile environment. Whether it is wolf nature, human nature, death, or survival, they all maintain immortal value in the genealogy of life.
The novel adopts the “narration from a distance” method to allow the legend of the father to slowly unfold in the vision of “I”. It is the spirit of modern novels that makes such old stories of the Anti-Japanese United Nations shine with new literary brilliance.

Du Lan’s “Mihuo”
Cultural Palette and Mongolian Narrative
Du Lan’s short story “Mihuo” first caught me with a personality Cinema language style. There is no doubt that she belongs to the Mongolian Komiks tribe – the sheep walking in the wind and snow, “Ga Le-Ga Le-“Komiks was earth-shaking. However, the author was born in 1999, which made me do it againThe language of the product is related to the Internet. The language of the product is related to the Internet. Discourses such as “Youth is keen on games” are inspired by the color of the Internet youth subculture. The language style of the Internet clan and the long-lasting language like Mongolian tribes interact to form a slightly dazzling, uncomfortable but full of personality.
The work is premiering with fables. A baby appeared in the ram’s belly, a paradoxical and weird ominous sign, so the “prairie faded” and the world suddenly changed; “I was shocked…” A series of mysterious and strange suspense symbols emerged in the middle of the real world. The indescribable symbols and pictures constitute the charming and allegorical characteristics of the work.

Huang Jinshu’s “Late CinemaYouth”
Huang Jinshu’s narrative has wild imagination and distinct style, stirring up the mystery and vastness of the waves in the South China Sea. His short story “The Late Youth” integrates time, history, memory and identity, which is thought-provoking.
Although the mysterious young man has the ability to curb the flow of time, he still cannot catch up with the time threshold of the great turning point in history. This extreme juxtaposition reflects the insignificant lonely coldness of his individual in the face of the torrent of history.
Magic is both an unfulfilled hope and an elegy for a desire to change, presenting us with a unique fable of modernity. The late youth, that is, the unfinished youth, is not only an inquiry of cultural identity by the Chinese in Southeast Asia, but also a revelation and breakthrough of the incompleteness of modern Chinese literature worldwide.

Would rather be “Train”
Shadows of the Years The Voice of Time
Thinkers would rather be good at literatureBabaylanStudySearch. With the wildness of the past, the novel leads readers to take the whistling train, and together captures the shadow of the years from Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen Railway Station, and captures the clarity of Xiaoqins in the center of growth and the lost children.
In the depths of history and human nature, in the residential compound and the story space outside the capital, the sound of the train whistle turned into the sound of time in the novel, and rushed towards the youth with a bang, gradually becoming the light of the novel’s ideal Cinema, and also creating the author’s new historical narrative.
The narrative of the works is concise and spiritual, resolute and rhythmic; the novel is rough and warm, desolate and clear.

Shao Li’s “Father on the Rooftop”
Speculation why he couldn’t extricate himself
” Maybe I changed my faith after leaving that city.” This is the first sentence of the novel “Father on the Rooftop”. It is precisely because of this sentence that I value this novel. In particular, the word “faith” is slightly abrupt and introductory, but it implies some differences in this work.
After reading it, I found that this is indeed a novel with profound connotation, a novel that touches the world of faith and inner self. The novel constantly reproduces the ups and downs and fluctuations experienced by his father who committed suicide by jumping off a building. We have also learned about the bravery, righteousness, passion, stubbornness and frustration of his father. The most memorable scene is the details of his notes.
Stripping the surface narrative, we have a glimpse of the father’s soul and knowing that he is or has encountered a spiritual crisis. What we want to know most is undoubtedly why he couldn’t extricate himself?
So, do we know? No, we can only speculate. And this returns to the first sentence of the novel.

Ye Zhaoyan’s “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”
The unique artistic dialectics
Ye Zhaoyan beautifully completed a well-prepared artistic fight with “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”, which was also a very challenging writing adventure, that is, he wanted to write a short story that was “completely different” from others.
Incredible that this short story, which is less than 10,000 words, writes the ups and downs of life grievances and irresistible human entanglement of a pair of twin sisters. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Cinema is full of fate and tragedy.
The novel looks at the structure of the big picture, and the details are rich and vivid. The characters have the fullness that is about to emerge. It not only greatly expands the artistic space of the short story that reflects history and reality, but also deeply conveys the tremor, despair and helplessness deep in the soul of the characters.
The story is full of sadness in indifference and concern in alienation. The unique artistic dialectics of small and big, light and heavy in the short story can be realized.

Zhang Huiwen’s “Angel”
Search for inner comfort
“Angel” is a delicate work full of sentimental feelings. Around his father’s funeral, the “I” who returned from another world, with a desire to find the warmth of happy growth and blood ties, and tried to relive the love with the “angel” in his youth.
However, when he walked through this once familiar “small place”, he found that all the comforts became hard, profit-oriented reality, and all the admiration and longing turned into simple carnal joy. The emotions between people are constantly alienating, and the calculation of interests between each other becomes a daily life. They form a close isomorphic relationship with the cold and mud-covered streets of their hometown, allowing the return wanderer to Komiks can no longer find inner comfort.
If we think “Angel” is a simple nostalgic work that conveys the author’s questioning the utilitarian reality of Chinese society, it seems that it is not bad. But I prefer to regard it as a fable, because every time we returnThe hometown always presets countless beautiful scenes in our hearts, and they will eventually be smashed without exception, but we are happy.
