About This Novel
This book is the first part of the "Pingle Town Trilogy" that Yan Ge is writing. The author reconstructs the youthful confusion of a generation from the perspective of Yuan Qingshan, a girl who cannot control her body growth. The novel contains both positive and negative stories. On the front, what we see are the children who grow up and curse loudly in dialect. In the dusty plain town of Pingle, they form gangs, commit petty crimes, fight, fall in love, and want to leave but are unable to leave in the end. While telling the tragedy of all living beings on the four streets of east, west, north and south, it also depicts the maze of pain at the bottom of the human heart that only women can understand. At the back of the novel, there is another story that is not easily noticed, about ancient gods, relics of gods, mutated bodies, a girl who turned into a cuckoo bird, and a fisherman who became a catfish, which adds a mixed and lonely atmosphere to the work. With this book, Yan Ge was selected as one of the "Top 20 Future Writers" by People's Literature magazine.
