Honest and Good Person
by Gu Xiang
About This Novel
"Zhaoqiao Village" describes the romance of seasons and nature, and "In Russia" records the millennium of studying abroad life. This time, writer Gu Xiang brings a new novel collection "Honest and Good People", which includes eleven short and medium-length works that she has written in recent years. The swallow seller, the former lover in Peace Park, the old man in the suburbs of Shanghai, friends at the music festival, urban white-collar workers whose rented house caught fire, students in love in a foreign country... These people suddenly appeared and disappeared, like a bunch of mushrooms, a tree, a gust of wind, a planet, just like everything in the universe. They live clumsily and honestly, seeking a little love and comfort in the storms of the world. There are always one or two sad things hidden in their seemingly peaceful daily lives. Gu Xiang's brushwork seems light and comfortable, but it expresses the weight and unwillingness of life.

"It seems that I only have something to talk about in the past, and then it's gone. I have nothing to talk about these years. Everything has passed, and now there is only a boring life."
