Bone Joints (Yao Yao Wen Cong)

"Joints" is a collection of seven representative novellas by young writer Sun Pin. Seven stories, seven sad and lonely battles in life. A young man who lost his virginity due to gullibility decided to focus on his daughter. A single mother with an aristocratic air; a poor college student who is obsessed with Japanese actresses; an orphan who was abandoned at birth and has gone through nine journeys without finding a place in the world; a pair of brothers and sisters in the mining area whose father disappeared and relied on the meager income of their mother's canteen to survive; a divorced thirty-year-old woman, and her widowed mother who was disgusted and pitied by her; an orphan who wanted to prevent his father from being exploited by his gambling brother again , and the country girl who suddenly had a murderous intention... In the gradually deserted countryside, in the declining industrial towns, in the vast unfamiliar cities, the men and women in these stories bear the chill of their own fate, but exhaust all their strength and emotions to cover up, get rid of, and cure the hidden diseases and injuries in their native lives. They make a desperate effort to show off their beauty in life, even just once.
