This book is a collection of short stories by the famous writer Xu Kaizhen. It includes thirteen masterpieces written by Xu Kaizhen since 2005, including "Mr. Yao", "Son", "Song Scroll" and "Red Bed". Whether they are local tyrants and gold diggers in troubled times, or farmers, teachers, and small civil servants in peaceful times, the author depicts them vividly and fullly, and the narrative is legendary. Among these stories are the weakness of ordinary people in the face of the temptation of profit, the subtle emotions between a son and his stepmother, the tragic life of an honest man Liu Cheng in a short and famous life, the emotional dilemma of middle-aged couples and the inseparable same-sex love... Although the stories are short, they are profound.
Reader comments
The reason why people become human is not due to the special arrangement of the Creator. It is just an accident and is nothing to be proud of. Some things are just like love that has a beginning and an end. They are anomalies in the world, pie in the sky, and most are filthy.
The works of famous artists are extraordinary, with flowing penmanship, smooth and profound. I just read the beginning of Chapter 5 and couldn't wait to comment. Maybe it's because of the subject matter. What impressed me the most and moved me the most were the first chapter "Mr. Yao" and the fourth chapter "Snowy Night", especially "Snowy Night". After listening to it, I felt mixed emotions and couldn't calm down for a long time.
-Very humane and social!
Super super nice, give it a big thumbs up
This is a book written by a great author! !
The characters in this book are so interesting! For example, Mabao, although he is a wealthy oil mill owner, he also has a lot of troubles. And his son actually beat his own wife, which is really annoying! But Xu Kaizhen wrote them all vividly, just like the people around me. I think this book is very real and meaningful, and it allows me to see the lives of different people.
