About This Novel
"Does this person have any works?" We were used to asking this question twenty years ago. This was a pre-modern habit. We have already arrived in the future, and the least important thing is the work. Comrade Xiao Liu, who made the remarks, used a humorous style to open the door to Northern Jiangsu's absurd literary experiments, penetrate the dramatic moments of life, and discover the ironic moments from the tragedies. A sincere work that speaks for the "small town young people with wrong answers" - the weight of the absurd world falls on everyone's shoulders, even if they do nothing, it is enough to make people exhausted! "Lying flat" is the only way to save themselves. If the beautiful world no longer exists, where should they go? My father, who failed to start a business, turned into a squirrel the day before his fifty-second birthday, and my mother took sleeping pills and entered a world of sleep. "My" youth ended hastily in a world of failing exams, fried chicken steak, addiction to video games, and desire. No one remembers SadTom, and no one remembers those friends who disappeared into the crowd after saying goodbye. Those young stories, passionate and crazy, seem to have the characteristics of dreams, and it is impossible to distinguish true from false. Every memory, every story, is like a ridiculous movie, constantly reappearing and interweaving. Sadness comes in the way of joy, love is destroyed and rebuilt, the distance between the dead and the living has never been so close... What is really important no longer exists. The world refuses to show its own gentleness, leaving a wound that is difficult to heal for young people.
