In Dense Forest
by Zhou Jianing
About This Novel
In Shanghai at the beginning of the 21st century, twenty-year-old Yangyang felt that she was out of tune with everything around her. She looked for similar people in underground literary forums, alley cafes and fringe concerts. Ten years have passed, and most of the literary and artistic young people have been consumed by useless illusions, and their lives have become dull. A small number of people have been favored by fate and achieved worldly success. Since when did life in Yangyang become more like wandering in a dark forest, no longer expecting to meet another partner. She once fell deeply in love with a natural genius, and also fell into a relationship with a famous middle-aged writer when she was most confused and lost. However, she doesn't want to be anyone's girlfriend. What she wants to be is the artist herself - facing the entire outside world alone, directly, and with a frontal attack... In this novel, Zhou Jianing uses cold and penetrating brushstrokes to outline a brief history of the spiritual wandering of literary youth in the early 21st century, with a unique melancholic temperament.

A strange woman looking for herself in the jungle
She has been looking for her true self, and she has always wanted to know the world. However, she did not know that she had been learning about the world through men until she received the award. This age is not too late, this contradiction is not big, but it is attractive enough and light and appropriate.
