About This Novel
In 1975, both people's hearts and society seemed to be less sleepy than during the day. Once after nine o'clock in the evening, people are really fast asleep. In the streets and alleys of Shanghai, whether it is an old garden house from the 1940s, an American-style apartment from the 1930s, or a Shikumen lane from the 1920s, the wooden houses painted with brown-red paint from the 1900s gradually emit the animal-like body odor of a depressed and disappointed body sleeping. The deep and lonely sleep floated heavily like night fog on the streets, covering the whole city. Three years ago, Burnstone, the American translator of Mao Zedong's poems, returned from a visit to Shanghai and expressed his opinion that Chinese bodies have no sense of identity at all. They are so calm, like mountains and rivers in nature.
