Riddle Crow
by Ge Liang
About This Novel
Mo Yan, Yan Lianke, and Wang Dewei sincerely recommend the "Urban Strange Stories" series of novels by Ge Liang, winner of the annual China Good Book Award. Mystery is the image of the world, a quietly brewing force that changes our lives and pushes it to the edge of danger. There are seven short stories in "Mysterious Crow". Among them, "Mysterious Crow" tells the story of a young couple who, by chance, raise a crow by mistake, and thus fall into a series of bizarre encounters, which even end in tragedy. "The Bankless River", "The Legacy of Love on the 37th Floor", "Private Island", etc. All have a mysterious atmosphere of fate, and the vanity and struggle of urban young people are revealed between the lines. It may be like a dream, or it may be restless, or it may be as trivial as chicken feathers. The Eight Noble Truths of Suffering and the Four Noble Truths in Buddhism always present a sad appearance. Life is always penetrated by cruel reality, revealing its fragile nature. Such stories, without the legendary color, are actually often played out around you and me. Its surface is made up of common elements and scenery, which warms the heart. However, there is a core of forbearance, and this is where the answer lies.
