The World is Like Smoke (harvest Wencong)

About This Novel

This book contains two short stories by Yu Hua. Among them, in "The World Is Like Smoke", the characters are named after Arabic numerals, with a fortune teller as the intersection. Yu Hua uses a restrained and indifferent style to describe weddings and funerals in the world, from birth to death, cruelly pointing to the essence of human existence. "Their Son" focuses on relatively daily family life. In the dialogue between a couple facing "laid off" and their son, the difference between the two generations is keenly captured. The works included in this book were first published in "Harvest". "Harvest", a purely literary magazine founded in 1957, has always been full of vitality and published a large number of works that have caused major repercussions in the history of contemporary literature. It can be called a simplified version of contemporary Chinese literature.
