About This Novel
The book is composed of four novellas. Among them, "The Pain of Infinite Pain" is about Chu Nanhong, a thirty-year-old freelance writer, and her husband Zhang Qun, a lecturer at a vocational and technical college. They share a two-bedroom apartment with a couple in their twenties and struggle to live an ordinary life in a two-bedroom apartment with less than 60 square meters on the top floor of an apartment. One day, Zhang Qun told Chu Nanhong that the college was going to allocate houses, but 80% of the time it would not be his turn based on seniority. She decided to take action personally and attacked the principal Wan Yusheng several times. Chu Nanhong attacked several times, but Principal Wan was polite and unwavering. "In this world, it seems that everyone has a choice. In fact, there is basically no choice. Everyone is just orbiting the existing orbit. Because as human beings, we have evil mediocrity." Did Principal Wan commit suicide? Also specious. Principal Wan's jumping off the building is both tragic and transcendent.
