The City Behind the River
About This Novel
Dr. Robert Linderhoff is assigned by his unknown superiors to become the archivist of a strange city, responsible for compiling the city's chronicle. Robert took a train to this city behind the river. In front of him was a ruin. The city was full of catacombs. There were no children's laughter, no beautiful music, and it was lifeless. People in the city have lost their vitality and passion, and are like shadows, performing meaningless, repetitive and even destructive tasks, lost in infinity, and living a puppet-like life. Here Robert unexpectedly met his father and former lover Anna, whom he thought was dead. He seemed to have entered a mirror world, and people seemed to be portraits of souls. In the end, it was discovered that this river actually formed a border, separating the two worlds of Yin and Yang. The other side of the river was actually the City of Death, the middle world where life flows. Robert came specifically to collect the eternal spirit left behind after the expression of life is lost. When Robert became aware of all this, he became a wanderer between two worlds, and his legendary lifestyle outside of time gradually became a legend.
