Late at night, the driver sneaked into the zoo to release the animals; the love fantasy about Ya emerged from the crumpled newspaper; Tian Jia, a girl who became a savage, and a monkey-shaped businessman; Xu Xiaonan, a billiards master who could clear the table with one stroke, fought with weapons... This book contains eighteen short stories and short stories written by the author in the past twenty years, including three volumes: Part One, Part Two, and Part Two: Part One. "Living Elsewhere, Also Here" contains four novels, mainly exploring contemporary society; the middle volume "Whose Heart Is Not Scarred" contains seven novels, mainly depicting emotional life; the second volume "Past and Life in a Small Town" contains seven novels, mainly recording the stories of people in the county, most of which are new works, which is one of the author's creative directions in recent years. The title of the book is taken from the author's short story published in "Zhongshan" magazine in 2009. The title and contents of the book were agreed between the author and the editor during his lifetime.

I am a man named Huang Xiaoyang. I was born in 1974 and grew up in a small county in southern China surrounded by mountains and with extremely inconvenient transportation. The 1980s were my boyhood. When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I started writing limericks. That spring, small video studios all over the streets were shut down and relocated, and both sides of the road were filled with idle teenagers squatting like stones. I was a bad boy, withdrawn and unsocial. Reading is so thrilling. My reading at that time was so complex and confusing. Any piece of paper with Song fonts on it piques my interest.

This is a masterpiece by Huang Xiaoyang, winner of the 5th Purple Mountain Literary Award for Novel and the 2nd Zhongshan Literary Award. Allegory, intertext, metaphor, meta-narrative, a kind of beauty possessed by functional thinking. A poetic town like Borges, with red soil, strange trees, and small hotels with rocky textures. In a dreamlike night, a charming woman told him a strange story full of mythology and science fiction: she was once the most beautiful woman on the planet, and her cells were cloned into countless offspring. Wandering in the vast space and time, she just wanted to find this man who helped her understand love. This is almost a "Liao Zhai" story reassembled with new technology. Countless hidden plots collide with each other. This is a night like Calvino's alone traveler, but also a night as weird, beautiful and incomprehensible as the legend of Tang Dynasty.

Literature is the other side, a dream. People use dreams as horses to imagine the end of the universe in the wilderness of time. Literature starts from the soul and helps us understand people, the universe, and the relationship between people and the universe. On these most basic and eternal questions, literature and physics are connected.

Huang Xiaoyang, the great writer of Chinese strategy novels, is a brand new masterpiece of political strategy, about a five-fold pretender's road to survival. In 1931, the Shanghai beach was undercurrent, and various forces were fighting openly and covertly. You Zaichun, the deputy director of the Shanghai Social Affairs Bureau, borrowed a knife to kill someone, arrested Xia Xing, a well-known figure in the cultural world, and directed the trouble to the new director Wu Pinsan who was airborne; Su Hang, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, cleverly used a series of tricks to rescue Xia Xing, but this caused the Green Gang and the Ax Gang to issue a kill order; what's more, it seemed that there was an invisible black hand controlling him, and he became a whistleblower that everyone wanted to beat overnight. The enemy has taken action and the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Su Hang takes advantage of his tactics and joins the social bureau when he is "desperate" and becomes an insider. A five-fold pretender who will wander among the CCP, the Central Government, the Military Command, the Japanese Army and other parties in the future is born. What awaits him will be traps, either overt or covert... The first plan is to meet the people, the middle plan is to meet the situation, and the upper plan is to meet the sky!
