Flying Away from Dreams: Echoes of Mental Patients

The best thing about the novel is the blurring of the boundary between dreams and reality. The protagonist Echo repeatedly experiences the suicide of a mental patient in his dream. When he wakes up, he finds himself in a seemingly absurd Liberty Club, carrying out a mysterious assassination mission. The integration of this dream core element makes the story always filled with an atmosphere of fantasy and reality. The dual-line narrative technique is used expertly in the book. One line is Echo's adventure in the club, full of exciting chases and mysterious character interactions; the other line is his memories of campus life in dreams, with a strong contrast between youthful secret love and painful insults. The two clues seem independent, but they are intertwined in subtle ways, like the pieces of a puzzle. As the story progresses, the complete truth is gradually pieced together. The traditional opposition between good and evil is broken here. The identities of demons, angels, and gods are no longer simple labels, but are given complex connotations and motives. The actions and positions of characters such as Dong Lemi and A Lei are full of uncertainty. Overall good, the settings are OK.

Xia Qing's stream-of-consciousness novel is unique in that it opens a crazy and real exploration of the spiritual world from a first-person perspective. From the moment the protagonist seeks death, the reader is drawn into the bizarre inner universe of a mental patient. The chaotic time and space, jumping thoughts, and stream-of-consciousness technique are excellent here, accurately restoring the chaotic perception of the mental patient, making people empathize with him. Unfortunately, there are only more than 30,000 words at present, the story is still hazy, plot clues are looming, and many suspense and character relationships have not yet been fully laid out. But because of this, people are full of expectations for the follow-up. They are eager to piece together a complete puzzle of the spiritual world in subsequent updates, and get a glimpse of how the protagonist flies out of the dream and finds the spiritual exit.

Alei's voice enveloped the top of my head like a breeze, carrying the moist and hot breath in my mouth, bringing a needle-like itching to my forehead: "Echo, wake up." I raised my hand to wipe the dried blood scab on my eyelashes, and woke up in a room hung with scarlet satin. It took me a long time to realize that everything just now was a dream, and this was the Liberty Club, my home. It's a novel I like very much. I hope everyone will support it.

The trees in the distance were covered with snow, and their branches swayed gently in the breeze, making a subtle rustling sound. I think I like this dream a little bit.
