About This Novel
The works include 13 short stories with urban background and 20 modern poems. The quality of the text is a wonderful combination of reality and magic. Just like our lives, most of the time it is cold and hard, but at some special moments, such as when love is broken, pressure drops suddenly, and life and death are separated, we will feel our own fragility, the absurdity of society, and the impermanence of life. These feelings are as real as cold, hard reality, but when life is calm, they lie beneath the surface. The representative chapter of this book, "Bird Hidden", tells a story of abandoning fantasy and bravely returning to the origin of life: Twenty-five years ago, our family's life was like an pastoral. One afternoon, while my mother was taking a nap in the courtyard, a mysterious foreign substance dripped into her ear. From then on, her temperament changed drastically, almost turning into a crazy and angry bird. Twenty-five years later, doctors discovered a bird egg that was about to hatch in my mother's brain. A rare disease caused me to return to my family. The memories of my childhood gradually emerged. I decided to end the chaotic life in the city and return to my family, back to before the bird fell into my mother's ears.
