About This Novel

The "lost people" described by Zhang Xinyin are typical modern people under the rapid development of civilization. They lost their old hometown in the city and built a "new hometown" in their own way. This hometown seems to be unique and private, and with its secret whereabouts, it sends an invitation to us. Seventeen essays and seventeen kinds of dreams are the words of a lost person who is accustomed to silence speaking and starting an inner communication. Sometimes the dream is melancholy, like a flock of birds that are hovering over the city and chirping wildly but no one can see them; sometimes it is peaceful, like a desk by the river that has never been affected by wind and rain; sometimes it is absurd, like a city collector who specializes in collecting rumored corpses; sometimes it is sad, as the peacock in the cage commits suicide by caesarean section, hinting at the fate of the missing friend. The scene is full of vagueness, like catching the wind in the void; moving to change scenery is like running water, trying to hold on but it turns into nothing in an instant. They come from the author's pure intuition. The text is combined with the original perception, and the dancing waves finally remain still in the viewfinder.
