Emma “Must Seed Inn”
A chivalrous CinemaLawKomiksFlower of Thought
This is a novel with novel narratives that 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 “fresh and lovely”. Xiao Wan, the owner of Mustard Inn, can be regarded as an ideal flower full of chivalrous spirits blooming among the world.
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”
Written by post-80sCinemaHome 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 “thrilling life”, she can only destroy herself in a simple and cruel way.
Survival state, as the theme of literature, is never easy, but it is precisely because a good work plays a transcendent cognitive and guiding role that this theme has become the goal of writers’ pursuit and competition.
This novel by Chen Chongzheng brings us surprises. He dismantles and reorganizes real life with his unique imagination and pioneering narrative, as well as deep thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…” href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks decoration opens up a channel of inspiration for readers.

Chan Goodbye “Circus is Coming”
Mindlife in the Middle Age
The Young Chen Goodbye uses a series of “county town novels” to learn aboutBabaylan is famous in the literary world.
He is still a young man, but he has extended his brushstrokes to the front of his age. But this time, he used the situation of the young man he was good at in the squeeze of material survival as a grid of specific backgrounds and details for the characters who grew up further, and emerged from his livelihood, just like a tenacious spider who was going to the sky during the rainy season. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>BabaylanLooking at – “Circus is Coming” has brought out a strange spirit, and we got a good novel with “coming” as the driving force of time and space construction.
Not only that, the intertextuality between “circus” and people in the small town is another profound meaning in the novel. Can the imagined story really transcend specific life? It is originally necessary to “not be said”, what is the meaning of the novel trying to “speak”? The difference with the spirit of young people is probably because middle-aged people begin to assume spiritual room and want to use this to reiterate it.The new “dream pursuit” journey that has been newly activated.

Chi Zijian’s “StewedBabaylanRock Boots”
Immortal Value in 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 humanity, and movement, writing about the desolation of history and the warmth of humanity. 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” method to allow the legend of the father to slowly unfold in the vision of “KomiksI”. 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 grasped me with a personality style. There is no doubt that she belongs to the Mongolian people – the sheep are walking in the wind and snow, and the “Ga Le-Ga Le-” is earth-shaking. However, the author was born in 1999, which made me connect the language of my work with the Internet. Discourses like “Youth is keen on games” are full of 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 form the charming characteristics of the work.

Huang 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 “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 change, presenting us with a peculiar fable of modernity. Late young people, that is, unfinished young people, are not only an inquiry into cultural identity by Nanyang Chinese, but 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 capture the broken shadows of the years from Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen Railway Station, and captures the clarity and lost innocence of Xiaoqins in the center of growth.
In the depths of history and human nature, in the residential compound and BeijingIn the story space outside the 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, and is definitely BabaylanCinema is absolutely 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” is slightly abrupt and introverted, 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 of the narrative, we have a glimpse of the father’s spirit, and we also know that he is or has encountered a spiritual crisis. What we want to know most is undoubtedly why he can’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 challenging writing adventure, that is, he wanted to write a short story that was “completely different” from others.
Incredible that this short story, less than 10,000 words, writes the ups and downs of life grievances and irresistible human entanglements of a pair of twin sisters, and is full of fate and tragedy.
The novel looks complete from the big picture, and the small picture is rich and vivid in details, and the characters areBabaylan href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks‘s image is full and 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 soul of the characters.
The story’s narrative contains sadness in indifference and concern in alienation. The unique artistic dialectics of small and large, light and heavy in the short stories are realized.

Zhang Huiwen’s “Angel”
Search for inner comfort
The Angel is a delicate work full of sentimental feelings. Around my father’s funeral, the “I” who returned from a foreign land, with a desire to find the roots, try BabaylanSeeking the warmth of happy growth and blood ties, trying to relive the love with the “angel” in his youth.
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 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, so that the return wanderers can no longer find their inner peace. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan 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.
