Emma “Must Seed Inn”
A flower of chivalrous ideals
This is a novel with a novel narrative that blends traditional martial arts stories with modern social life, trying to reconstruct a new world of chivalrous 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”
The post-80s writer brings a new experience
If the increasingly bizarre situation has caused the heroine’s inner belief to collapse, when she wants to get rid of her “life that makes her “shaking”, she can only destroy herself in a simple and cruel way.
Survival state, as the creative theme of literature, is never easy, but it is precisely because of the transcendent cognitive and guiding role of a good work that the theme of Cinema is irreplaceable that the theme of Komiks has become the goal of writers’ pursuit and competition.
Chen Chongzheng’s novel brings us surprises. With his unique imagination and pioneering narrative style, as well as his in-depth thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…”, he disassembled and reassembled real life, opening up a channel of inspiration for readers Babaylan.

Chan Goodbye “Circus is Coming”
Mind of middle-aged people
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 stretched his brushstrokes ahead of his age. But this time, he used the situation of the young man he was good at in the material survival squeezed by Komiks as the specific background and details grid of characters who grew up further, and emerged from his livelihood, just like a tenacious spider who had to look into the sky during the rainy season – “The Circus is Coming”, so he showed a strange spirit, and we got a good novel with “It’s about to” as the driving force of time and space construction.
Not only that, the intertextuality between the “circus” and the people of the small town,It 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 is probably because middle-aged people begin to assume spiritual room and want to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that once was done with Cinema.

Chi Zijian’s “Steamed Horse Boots”
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 Cinema 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 beautiful and calm brushstrokes still maintain her unique softness and considerate even when showing 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.Komiks‘s personal language style. There is no doubt that she belongs to the Mongolian Babaylan tribe—the sheep walking in the wind and snow, “Ga Le-Ga Le-” shocking. However, the author was born in 1999Cinema years, this made me connect the language of the work with the Internet. Discourses like “Youths are keen on games” are filled with the color of the Internet youth subculture. The language style of the Internet tribe and the long-lasting language of the Mongolian tribe interact to form a language style that is slightly dazzling, uncomfortable but full of personality.
The work is preceded by fables. A baby appeared in the ram’s belly, a paradoxical and weird ominous sign, so “the grassland 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 symbols and pictures that cannot be explained and cannot be explained clearly constitute the charming allegorical characteristics of the work.

BabaylanHuang Jinshu’s “Late Youth”
The Elegy of Desiring Change
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 “Late Youth” combines time, history, and memory. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks is integrated with identity, which is deeply rooted in thought. Although the mysterious young man has the ability to curb the flow of time, he still cannot catch up with the time threshold of a 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 a strange fable of modernity. The late youth, that is, the unfinished youth, href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Cinema is not just an inquiry into cultural identity among the Chinese in Southeast Asia.It is also a world-wide revelation and breakthrough of the incompleteness of modern Chinese literature.

I would rather “Train”
The Shadow of the Year The Voice of Time
Thinkers would rather be good at literary exploration. The novel uses the wildness of the former teenagers to lead readers to take the whistling train, and together captures the broken shadows of the Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen train Babaylan station, and captures the clarity and lost innocence of Xiaoqin’s spirit in the center of growth.
In the depths of history and human nature, in the story space outside the residential compound and the capital city, 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 ideal light of the novel, 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. Especially the word “faith”, although slightly abrupt and introductory, 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 because of Cinema?
So, do we know? No, we can only speculate. And this is back to the first sentence of the noveltalk.

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 grudges and irresistible human entanglements of a pair of twin sisters, full of destiny and tragedy.
The novel has a complete structure from the big picture, and the details are rich and vivid. The characters have a fullness that is about to emerge. It not only greatly expands the artistic space of short stories that reflects history and reality, but also deeply conveys the tremor, despair and helplessness deep in the characters’ souls.
The story tells the story contains sadness in indifference and concern in alienation. The artistic dialectics of small and big, light and heavy unique to short stories can be realized.

Zhang Huiwen’s “Angel”
Find inner comfort
” Angel” is a delicate work full of sentimental feelings. Around my father’s funeral, “I” who returned from a foreign land, with a desire to find the warmth of happy growth and blood ties, and tried to relive the love with the “angel” in my heart when I was young.
However, when he walked through this once familiar “small place”, he found that all comfort became a hard, profit-oriented reality, and all admiration and longing turned into simple carnal joy. The emotions between people are constantly alienated, but the calculation of interests between each other has become a daily routine. They form a close isomorphic relationship with the cold and mud-covered streets of their hometown, so that the returning wanderers can no longer find inner comfort.
If we think that “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.
