About This Novel
"Wang Neng Hao" is Wei Sixiao's latest novel. It uses a farmer's departure, return and unexpected death as clues to weave an ukiyo-e of contemporary rural life. This is a rural novel that is truly profound and compassionate. It depicts a rough and powerful picture of rural life with a unique minimalist style. The capture and perspective of rural life and the fate of people in the countryside make the work full of pathos and a kind of power. In terms of overall style, Wei Sixiao successfully constructed his observation and understanding of rural life, that is, the more common rural characters are helpless in the face of fate. They try to establish contact with life again and again, but they all suffer from life's tricks. The plight of these characters is not only manifested in material life but also in spiritual life.

Flesh-colored stockings
The electric car disappeared from behind the side-by-side cars. He stared at the front of the car behind the zebra crossing. The electric car reappeared. A leg wearing flesh-colored stockings stretched out downwards. The car swayed and stopped steadily in front of the tricycle. A thick leg with no graceful curves at all. He looked sideways without tilting his head to the side and made a judgment. He also saw people on the tricycle, wearing safety helmets and clothes stained with cement dust. A thought flashed through my mind and I started staring at the tricycle driver. The driver didn't seem to notice the leg at first. He squinted his eyes and stared blankly at the traffic light illuminated by the sun. The security guard continued to stare at him, suddenly feeling a little anxious in his heart. Finally, the driver noticed the leg in flesh-colored stockings in front of him. He lowered his head slightly, opened his eyes wider, and looked straight at the leg. The corner of the security guard's mouth raised a smile. An arc, as if to show a relieved smile, the traffic light changed color, the flesh-colored stocking legs were retracted, the electric car reacted the fastest, and drove forward. The tricycle driver looked away, the car made a roaring sound, and accelerated past the electric car without looking sideways. The horns blared one after another, reminding the cars waiting for the traffic light to play with their mobile phones.

Hey, whoever dreamed of making money and getting rich was deceived into losing everything.
