I Only Know What a Person Is
by Yu Hua
About This Novel
"Literature encompasses everything, but what is the most important? People." "I Only Know What People Are" is the latest collection of essays compiled and selected by the famous writer Yu Hua. This book is a collection of essays he has published in recent years. Yu Hua wisely and sincerely shares his observations and thoughts. The content is all-encompassing, from the past to reality, from himself to the times. He talks about life experience and creative experience. He vividly recalls his encounters with characters in his works such as Fu Gui and Xu Sanguan, and also tells about his encounters with brave Polish farmers and Italian mental hospital patients when he traveled around the world... Sometimes they are thousands of people, sometimes they are like the same person. These broad and rich explorations of human nature demonstrate an excellent writer's profound insight into life, and the stories condensed out of the impermanence of fate not only connect our past and future, but also ultimately point to the most fundamental source of power in all literary and artistic creations.

After watching "Alive", I habitually felt sad when I saw Yu Hua's name.
Good reading, good reading, good reading, good reading!
Good books to read every day
The old Taoist priest and his apprentice hunted ghosts together, but the fierce ghost was so powerful that they could not be subdued. At this time, the old Taoist who was struggling with the fierce ghost said to his apprentice: "This ghost is too powerful, go and set up the Bagua formation." The apprentice nodded hurriedly, turned around and left. Not long after, the disciple shouted: "Master, the Bagua array is coming!" The old Taoist priest turned around and saw that his apprentice had invited a dozen women who were eating melon seeds and chatting all the way... --The story is excerpted from the novel "Maoshan Demon King" on this website.

Now that I read Teacher Yu's book, I'm afraid that the protagonists will all turn out to be tragedies.
Okay, okay, okay, this is a prescriptive word
I just read part of it and it's great. I like Yu Hua very much, so I'm looking forward to this book. I don't know what inspiration Mr. Yu Hua will give me this time.
I don't know what a Jew is, I only know what a human being is.
The concise sentences condense the soul's desire to explore.
Whatever you think, it's worth savoring.
what is a person
What is a human being? A human being is a living being who is busy but does not know why. A human being is a cell living in a group. A human being is the incarnation of an angel. A human being is the shadow of the devil. A human being is just a human being. He eats, drinks, poops and sleeps.
