Double "male" protagonist
From 1987 to 2007, the tide of the times was turbulent. Wang Mao and Liu Mei, a pair of marginalized lovers, struggled to survive in the abyss of suffering. From the first meeting at the construction site, where Lanhua sealed the fate of fate, to the entanglement of desire in the underground dance hall, and then experienced the misdiagnosis of AIDS and the dilemma of transgender surgery, every step was difficult.
Their love is riddled with holes but perseveres under the cold eyes of society and the pressure of life. Liu Mei's wig hides a secret, Wang Mao paints hope with soot, the estrogen bottle forms ice flowers, and the cracks in the green glass bear witness to separation and separation. When death comes, Liu Mei's last wish and Wang Mao's perseverance make this love that spans life and death shine with heartbreaking light in the cruel reality.
The format of this novel is quite special compared to the whole Tomato. Each chapter is not connected with narrative as the theme. It mainly focuses on the inner changes of the two protagonists. Therefore, the timeline seems to be jumpy and there are no specific events. I don't know what the results will be if I write like this. It's a new attempt. I hope everyone likes it.
Another reason: the reason for labeling the double male protagonist is that although he appears to be a transgender, we can never judge that Liu Mei is a real transgender, or the stereotype of the "male" gender is too strong and deep-rooted for him to integrate himself.
