The War Begins Across the Sea

About This Novel
On this side of the sea is a luxurious resort hotel; on the other side is a bustling city. The two stages face each other across the sea through the hot and humid air of midsummer. The story shot switches repeatedly inadvertently as consciousness flows: the city on the other side of the sea is filled with a jubilant atmosphere and is about to usher in a grand carnival. At the same time, three teenagers picking up peaches killed wild dogs on the garbage mountain; in the military mansion, the lonely colonel continued his crazy whispering in front of his lover; in the circus, the middle-aged guard took his wife and children to watch the deserted and failed performance; in the hospital ward, the tailor watched his dying mother moaning and struggling with swelling and itching... On this side of the sea, the young painter was enjoying a luxurious beach vacation, but the shadow of that city reflected in his eyes: noisy, chaotic, dirty, filthy, rotten, degraded, and helpless. Will the sea bring the corpses from across the sea here? No, the dead body will probably disappear without a trace on the way, and the greedy and sharp-toothed fish will peck at it. The thick salt will melt the bones in the sea water. This is the sea. The sea lay between that city and us.
