Long Night Walk (published in "Fuyu" Issue 2, 2015)
Gnome Town is a remote town isolated from modern civilization. People here have an almost crazy obsession with having sons. Having a son can even become the entire spiritual support and highest ideal of a family. This also brings about another extreme behavior, which is extremely contemptuous of daughters, and mutilating baby girls has become a custom that people turn a blind eye to. With a pair of kind eyes, rural girl Shen Man witnessed the ugliness, filth and sin in the remote countryside, and experienced a horrific injustice. With a deep fear of the countryside, Aman had no choice but to escape from marriage and come to the city, where she began her working career.
Mistaken fate (published in "Fuyu" Issue 1, 2016)
Aman escaped from marriage and went to Jiangcheng, where she met Meng Han, a rich second-generation son. Meng Han played with her for a while, threw away 20,000 yuan and disappeared. She was in dire straits several times and had no choice but to work at Paradise City, the largest entertainment city in Jiangcheng. It happened that the big star Zhao Yifei came to Jiangcheng to perform. Aman was ordered by Mr. Liao to go on stage to present flowers. Fortunately, she was invited to duet with the big star. From then on, she became a popular dancer with a hundred times her worth.
Soon, a senior official in the city fell ill in Paradise City, which attracted the attention of the Municipal Party Committee. Peng Guishan, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, went to Paradise City to secretly investigate the cause. Fortunately, Mr. Liao threw out the chess piece Aman in time, and Paradise City was able to turn the crisis around. Aman became disheartened and completely withdrew from this prosperous and dirty city. She opened an orphanage in a deep alley in Jinling to adopt baby girls who had been abandoned by society, and lived a poor but peaceful life with an honest man.
The novel depicts the character traits of a group of rural girls such as Shen Man, Shen Liqin, Liu Yuxiang, and Chen Shuangju, and attempts to deeply explore the roots of their tragic fate.
