About This Novel
"Fang Island" contains nine short stories, most of which were written in the 1980s and 1990s, including "Bird in the Wind", "Fang Island", "Similes", "Desire", etc. The story is mainly based on the author's early life as an educated youth, and is mostly set in Northeastern farms or northern rural areas. By describing the stories of ordinary people struggling to survive in the cracks of the times, it shows the alternation and collision between individuals and the surrounding space in a harsh and complex environment. These early works adhered to the author's consistent creative philosophy: reducing psychological description to a minimum and focusing on describing what the characters saw and the dialogue between the characters. These early creative techniques were continued by the author in "Flowers" and carried forward to the extreme.
