Selected Short Stories by Xiao Hong

About This Novel
This book selects four novels by Xiao Hong. Among modern Chinese writers, no one has had the experience of Xiao Hong: she was born into the landlord class, read poetry and books, and left her feudal family in order to escape from marriage. Later, she was deceived by her fiancé and lived together, and after being abandoned, she began her wandering life... Xiao Hong's fate was just as she said: "The greatest pain and misfortune in my life are all because I am a woman." It is precisely because she endured those humiliations and pains that her poetry-like words have such strong penetrating power of the times, slowly unfolding for us pictures of the lives of the lower class people in the 1920s and 1930s. At the same time, Xiao Hong also belongs to the wilderness. Her exile experience makes her novels as wild and unconstrained as prose, without rules and regulations, but smooth and natural. This is like an instinct of the soul.
