This is not a collection of essays, but an altar and ruins built with language. What is enshrined on the altar is a soul that has been repeatedly roasted by the dark side of the times; buried under the ruins are all the innocent fantasies of a generation about youth, education and love.
This collection of essays is by no means a youth story that saddens spring and autumn. It is a tragic and gorgeous literary breakthrough made by a highly sensitive soul amidst systematic oppression and individual fate. She used writing as her last breath to transform all the betrayal, illness, loneliness and desire for death she had experienced into the material existence of literature.
Reading it, you will step into a spiritual world constructed by "Iron House" and "Eternal Night". Here, you will witness how a bright life is dismantled inch by inch, and you will also witness how an unyielding literary will rises from the ruins, tempering all its unbearableness into crystallization of words that are as bright as a song and as sharp as a blade.
This is not just a book. This is a long letter from the abyss, written with blood and tears, questioning the entire meaning of education, disease, love and existence. It is a testimony of pain and a solitary aesthetic statement that transcends pain. You need courage to open it, because it will take away part of your innocence about the world; but when you close it, you will also gain a profound sobriety - about the mental illness of our time, and how a person can use words to achieve the most heroic survival in the midst of destruction.
