by Xiao Hong
About This Novel
This book is a collection of Xiao Hong's essays. There are "The Embellishment of the Sky", "When My Grandfather Died", "Lonely Life", etc., Including almost all the articles in the 1936 edition of "Business Street" and the 1940 edition of "Xiao Hong's Essays". It also includes Xiao Hong's essays in memory of Lu Xun, such as "Mr. Lu Xun in Memory". "Only prose is the true face of life." As Kundera said, prose describes real life. In this collection of essays, you can see Xiao Hong herself in the fireworks of the world. She and Xiao Jun lived together in Shangshi Street. They had no way to ask for help, were hungry and cold, couldn't afford firewood in the middle of winter, and didn't even have money to drink a cup of hot juice. She even wanted to steal the bread hanging on the door of the opposite house several times a night. They worked as tutors, painted movie theater billboards, went to group activities to eat and drink, wandered around, quarreled, and lay on the floor crying when they were drunk. When they reluctantly published a collection of works, they were banned, and the fear of being arrested by the Japanese military police tortured them. "White Face" is a true portrayal of the fearful state of Xiao Hong and left-wing literary and art radicals during this period.
