About This Novel
Li Yinhe exclusively authorized it and personally edited the entire manuscript. Wang Xiaobo's only dystopian novel is a rhapsody of future society. Li Yinhe and Feng Tang sincerely recommend! The author uses two lines to narrate. One line describes the painter, novelist, and their unusual love who stayed in the police station and was whipped. The other line describes himself as a future historian who made various "mistakes" because he had to follow the principles of governing history. He returned to his original life and identity and became a "normal person" without any desires. These two sets of narratives often intersect and overlap. In the so-called conflict between reality and fiction, the author creates situations that allow for interspersion, irony, ridicule and playful analysis. This is less a prediction of the future world than a parable of modern life, a dystopian story. Not only is the future world where the protagonist lives not better than the present, but it intensifies the absurdity of modern life.

Different environment, different perspective.
Right point is weird!
