Read "the Wasted City" in One Book
Literature一本书读懂《废都》
Compiled By Qu Xin
This book takes Jia Pingwa's "The Wasted Capital" as the interpretation object, focuses on this contemporary literary classic that has caused great controversy, and deeply analyzes its historical background, characters and spiritual core. Through systematic analysis, this book not only restores the cultural pain and spiritual dilemma of intellectuals during the social transformation period in the early 1990s, but also reveals how the sinking of Zhuang Zhidie, Tang Wan'er and other characters in the whirlpool of desire became a metaphor for the times. At the same time, we sort out the tortuous fate of the work from being banned to being released, and explore its critical value that transcends the times - when material prosperity encounters a vacuum of faith, the fall and redemption of human nature are always eternal propositions worthy of vigilance. This book is not only a literary criticism, but also an ideological key to the spiritual history of contemporary China.

Read "skins" with One Book
Literature一本书读懂《皮囊》
Compiled By Qu Xin
This book uses Cai Chongda's non-fiction work "Skin" as the research object, revealing how this "recognizing heart and person" literary classic uses Dongshi, a small town in southern Fujian, as a slice to show the spiritual map of the Chinese family and the pain of the times. Focusing on the core image of "skin" - both a shackle for the body and a container for the soul, the book provides an in-depth analysis of Atai's survival philosophy of "the body is for use", his mother's obsession with building a house, and the collapse of his father's dignity on the sickbed. It presents the individual's struggle and resilience in the gap between tradition and modernity. Special attention is paid to the narrative power of "taking truth as the edge" of the work: by dissecting the trauma, estrangement and unspoken love in family memories, Tsai Chongda has completed the precise mapping of the emotional structure of rural China, allowing every reader to see their own life folds in characters such as Zhang Meili and Hong Kong Ah Xiao. Finally, through the fog of individual destiny, in the inquiry of "the questions we always have to answer", it shows how this work breaks the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction with rough truth, and becomes the common spiritual autobiography of a generation, providing emotional resonance and existential enlightenment for all people who walk the world with skins.
