Reporting to the Government (small Literature·pocket Library)
by Han Shaogong
About This Novel
"Reporting to the Government" is a meaningful peek into the secrets of remote prisons. In this closed space, prisoners and jailers appear in person, and the tug-of-war between people's hearts begins at any time; "This is a pool of muddy water that will never be clarified," rippling the pain deep in the soul. "The Gunslinger" is only about 10,000 words, looking back on the ups and downs of the "Cultural Revolution". The young man Xia Ruhai misfired his gun and accidentally injured others. His life was wrapped up in fate and he didn't know where he would end up. Han Shaogong's sober and wise writing "seems to be about asking what kind of existence life is and what kind of shape the spirit is in places where existing languages cannot reach." Han Shaogong, a leading figure in the "root-seeking literature" in the 1980s, is also one of the most influential writers in contemporary Chinese literary circles. Han Shaogong has always maintained his awareness of the art of fiction and his great reflection on the real society. His "Daddy", "Maqiao Dictionary", "Hint", "Mountain South and Water North", and "Day and Night Book" are hailed as contemporary classics; his two translated works "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" and "The Record of Panic" have also become literary benchmarks for a generation of young people.
