Jiang Du, a graduate student in the Department of Chinese Studies, suddenly transformed into Lin Dongzhe, the skinny monkey in "Alley People" - the devil who can do anything but study.
In a seven-year-old body, there is a belly full of poems and books. He used the appearance of a naughty boy to hide the soul of a scholar. In the fireworks alleys of Suzhou's cotton spinning mill, he secretly recorded the bitterness of snake melon, the anxiety of the college entrance examination, and the joys and sorrows of his neighbors. From a diary entry that Zhuang Chaoying was suspicious of, to the beginning of the prose in "Alley Kou"; from studying in Shanghai to witness the tide of the times, to going north to become a new generation writer. When the alley faced demolition, he returned to the south window and spent three years writing the spiritual history of a generation.
He is not a literary giant, just a clerk in an alley. He told Zhuang Xiaoting in words: I have recorded everything you have experienced.
