Taibai
by Jia Pingwa
About This Novel
"Taibai" is a collection of short stories and short stories by Jia Pingwa. The 15 works are all wonderful and classic. This collection is not only rooted in the fertile historical and cultural soil of Taibai in the Western Region, but also shrouded in an atmosphere of mysticism. Its outstanding feature is that it has a "Liao Zhai" temperament and is full of Zen philosophy. "Taibai Mountain Chronicles" uses absurd techniques to reflect reality and give people a "Liao Zhai" feeling. This feeling is unanimously recognized by the literary world at home and abroad. And this feeling hangs over the entire collection of novels. Or from another perspective, this is a typical manifestation of magical realism in contemporary Chinese literature.

Good book. The meaning is profound and thought-provoking! Every story placed in such a historical background is a tragedy, but it is very helpless. The protagonist is fighting but unable to change his fate. After reading it, I look back at the society I live in and people's hearts. Is jealousy the norm? But kindness is the right path regardless of the times. Does the author want to call out the kindness deep in people's hearts through each tragedy?

Actually, I don't understand it thoroughly, it's a bit esoteric.
good book
Good book, pick it up haha😜
Quite pretty
Let's call it a moderate review. Most of Jia Pingwa's books are very good. The words in those books reveal reality, but the writing style of this book feels a bit hard to read. Generally speaking, it's okay.
Why does it feel a bit scary...
Don't understand the meaning?
I like this style very much
A touch of sadness and cold irony!
I have been reading Jia Pingwa's books, this one should be good too
