When ancient obsession collides with modern loneliness - do you think the fox ghost and flower demon in Pu Songling's works have died?
No, they never left. They just shed their old skins and dived into the gunfire and smoke of the war of resistance, the neon lights of the city, and even transformed into the data torrent of cyberspace. "New Liaozhai Stories" records these souls that have spanned thousands of years and are unable to reincarnate because of love and hate.
The background of the times is changing, but the delicacy and deep affection of human nature remain unchanged. This is not a traditional fantasy novel, but an ultimate writing about "sacrifice" and "forgetting".
Here you will witness:
Wangchuan in the Han Dynasty: A soldier who died in battle overturned Meng Po Tang on the bank of Wangchuan River, fled upstream to return to the sun, and stayed by his blind wife's side as a ghost;
Disguise in the prosperous Tang Dynasty: An ugly woman sacrificed her life in exchange for her alluring appearance and the tenderness of her lover for three years, and finally turned into withered bones when the truth was revealed;
Spies of the Republic of China: The ghosts of the anti-war heroes lingered for eighty years and returned with top-secret information, just to correct the distorted history with their reincarnated lover;
...........
This book will take you to experience love that spans life and death, identity, and time and space. Be prepared, these stories will not only make you cry, but also become a cinnabar mark in your heart that will never be erased.
——The most painful thing in the world is not going to hell, but "I don't want to forget you."
