When Staring into the Abyss

About This Novel

This is a story about trauma, the gradual blurring of the boundaries between memory and reality. When young Xueliang attended the funeral of Fa Xiaojia, he was caught in a heavy and lonely atmosphere. The only familiar figure was Gao Lan's silent gaze. However, the funeral gradually revealed a strange outline - the deceased was his own grandfather, the sky twisted into an all-devouring whirlpool, and reality collapsed into a life-or-death escape. When he struggled to break free from the invisible shackles, he woke up to a completely unfamiliar "reality" at the next moment: beside Gao Lan, there was what she called "Yecheng University". Here, everything is unnervingly calm. The fresh campus, the teacher he met by chance, and Gao Lan's gentle company all seemed to tell him: the funeral and escape were just illusions projected by pain. But the question in his heart could not be calmed - what is the "injury" that the county cannot heal? Are your parents really okay? When did Yecheng have a university? The story follows Xueliang's footsteps, planting seeds of doubt in seemingly healing daily life. The campus is like a carefully constructed haven, but the heat and sense of crisis that linger outside the door hint that escape may never be successful. When the boundary between reality and illusion completely dissolves, Xueliang must face the final truth: Is he receiving treatment, or is he still trapped in the wilderness under the red sun and never leaves? In this work that combines psychological suspense and a surreal atmosphere, the author uses delicate brushstrokes to outline the inner labyrinth of a young man, asking how memory shapes us, and under which layer of consciousness the reality is hidden.
