"The Sea in Shiyang Town" selects 11 of Zhu Shanpo's most representative short stories.
The starting point of Zhu Shanshan's writing is the times and human nature. There are two main periods in his writings. One is the extremely poor historical period before liberation and the early period of liberation. There was a lot of waste and people's knowledge had certain limitations. He depicts the greed and hardship, pain and hardship of human nature in an extremely poor and difficult environment. He cruelly cuts through the dark side, but still full of the light of humanity, showing the friendliness, simplicity and mutual help of people in difficult circumstances. The second is from the period of reform and opening up to the modern era. He placed the characters in the background of the era. He did not criticize human nature alone, but combined it with the dilemma of the era to systematically reveal the overall problems of the era, highlight personal choices, and seek light in the subtleties of human nature.
