About This Novel

This book is a collection of short stories, including eight short stories published by the author in the past two years. It is very commendable to write about characters at the bottom of society, who appear to be rough and insensitive, especially women, in a vivid and delicate way, with long thoughts, calm on the surface but turbulent on the inside. For example, Li Huifang in "The Passage" is a rural woman who is walking from middle age to old age. She is still suffering from illness and struggling in the mud, but she has a delicate mind and her own secret yearning. "Offline" does not simply write about the depression and pain after divorce or the search for new love, but fully demonstrates the multiple desires in people's hearts and fully expresses people's complex and changeable thoughts. In "Color-Changing Mirror", Zheng Ji'an's life can be described as one failure after another. He is obsessed, crazy and confused. Finally, in the mirror, he recognizes that his "ex-husband" is actually himself. The novel describes the situation of people struggling in desperate situations, which is very realistic and accurate, like a sharp knife cutting through glass.
