"Three Rooms and Two Living Rooms" is the first novel by writer Han Bo. The novel uses the indoor layout structure as a framework and injects textual content. It is a non-linear narrative text presented in the form of a novel. The work is divided into five parts: three rooms ("fiction room", "non-fiction room" and "anti-fiction room") and two halls ("black hall" and "soft hall"), with their own specific time backgrounds and five different spatial divisions as clues. Through the interweaving, intersecting, blending and concatenation of fiction, non-fiction, drama excerpts, literary narratives, non-fiction travel notes, plays within plays and other texts, it presents the spiritual pattern of the younger generation of intellectuals under the rapid social transformation of the times. The novel uses the dual identity perspective of "I" as an observer and participant, and connects the experiences of several "gentlemen" such as Mr. Hu, Mr. Han, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Ma.
