As the editor-in-chief of the Harvest literary magazine, Cheng Yongxin has been a close witness to the Chinese literary scene for decades. This book is a collection of his recently completed novels. The novel "If We Only Met for the First Time" is based on personal experience and is deeply imbued with the cruelty, passion and free spirit of the 1980s and 1990s; "The Shape of the Wind" tells the story of a college student's experience after knocking on the iron door of an old house on a hot afternoon. Su Tong said the narrator's image is "reminiscent of Cheng Yongxin himself in his youth." "Qingcheng Mountain", which involves historical and martial arts themes, explores the relationship between ideas, dreams and human nature; "Mahjong World" tells the story of friendship, love and a messy life. "My Chiang Mai, My Teresa Teng" uses sentimentality and moderation to describe Teresa Teng's relationship with an era. The five novels have different themes and reflect the author's long-term understanding and practice of literary work.
