Our World

About This Novel
"Our World" takes the fate of Mr. Li Erye, the son of a carpenter, as its context and outlines the bloody and tearful struggle of the young people at the bottom. He dropped out of school due to poverty, his parents died of illness, and he witnessed the oppression of the rich and social injustice. Finally, under the leadership of Lao Jiang, he joined the pirates and fought against exploitation with violence. Through its logic of "sharing the blessings and suffering the misfortunes", the novel tears apart the class rifts under the bustling city, and writes the indignant awakening of the marginalized in the desperate situation of survival in a cold and stern style. The lines are filled with accusations against the old order and the secret desire for an equal world. In addition to "Our World", this collection also includes two articles: "People Living on the Sea" and "Oilcloth". The former describes the wanderings of fishermen and sailors and their work in the wind and waves, describing the hardships and loneliness of life at sea. "Oilcloth" uses dock workers and oilcloth as the incision. The oilcloth is wrapped with sweat and livelihood, revealing the tenacity and humbleness of the people at the bottom under the weight of survival. All three articles are excellent works. They touch the body temperature of those on the margins with cold brushstrokes, and a feeling of incurable social ills comes over you.
