Like Fire Like Ashes

About This Novel

"Like Flame Like Ashes" contains a total of 11 novels written by Cheng Ji in recent years. The women in Cheng Ji's works are in a transitional stage where they have bid farewell to the childishness of girls but have not yet fully entered mature women. They have the vitality of vigorous growth and have experienced the fatigue and confusion of the adult world for the first time. They have a more mature and profound understanding of love, desire and life than young girls. In every relationship, they are not the objects of passive waiting and bitter crying. They long for love to happen, endure loneliness, and honestly face their own body desires. Xin Shu, who forgets his old love and goes alone to the party, Xu Xiaoyun, who cheats in middle age, Ning Yuan, who longs for comfort after mastectomy, Zhi Xia, who is looking for her husband's organ donor, Chen Lu, who wants to escape from his original life and travel across the ocean... We can find more or less our own shadows in each of them. The desire for love, the search for self, the rebellion against morality, the fear of loneliness, the addiction to sex, and those greedy, fragile, and mask-failed moments. As Cheng Ji said, this is not just a novel about women and love. With the help of this theme, Cheng Ji uses blade-like strokes to dissect the hidden things in daily life, those corners of human nature that have not yet been reached and illuminated by light. "The characters in these stories face more than just love. Things are rarely what they seem. Love is related to our family relationships, friendships, death, politics, and our understanding of love and freedom."
