Classical elegance, the illusion of words, the elegy of youth, the Secret Record of Confession, several handwritten notes bequeathed by friends, each one sewed together a life-long love affair, the hundreds of thousands of words of the Confession, and testify to the age of handicrafts. Only one book like this can be written in a lifetime. Jian Yu, a master of prose in the contemporary Chinese literary world, commemorates the 30th anniversary of his writing - dedicated to those possessed by the God of Love. If I am tired of walking to the end of the world, tired of seeing the scenery, and tired of tasting the bitterness, will you become a soft straw couch for me to lean on for the rest of my life? All love stories are wonderful how they begin, but touching how they end.

"Little Tomato" tells the story of the growth of a nine-year-old girl "Little Tomato" in a large family. With her keen observation, Jian Yu vividly depicts the joys and sorrows of Little Tomato as she grows, as well as her naughty and cute unique personality. Growth is never smooth sailing. While we are surprised by children's strong adaptability and learning ability to the environment, the educational issues and social and cultural atmosphere reflected in their growth are also thought-provoking. As the author writes: "In this high-risk era of education, this book is written for adults who are willing to take the time to reflect."

I would like to record my college life, that time that passed by in the blink of an eye.

"The Ends of the World - Lyrical Records of Formosa" is a landmark work in the history of Jian Yu's prose creation. The lofty intention of this book, the richness of the content, the fullness and depth of emotions, the refinement of the text, the vigorousness of the realm, and the complementation of the pictures and text are all enough to make this work a model prose in the Chinese world.

In recalling the past, I compiled the pretentious poems of the past and the nostalgic poems of today into a collection, with this preface.

One makes wine, the other buys drunkenness; a pot of old wine, a past event; a frown, a smile, an anger and a sadness. All aspects of life can be seen and heard in the cup.

What happened at that time will take many years to learn the full plot. The humble things planted in times of sadness and pain can silently blossom and bear fruit. What is loneliness? Loneliness is misunderstanding, loneliness is abandonment, loneliness is bullying, loneliness is failure, loneliness is failure, loneliness is decision-making... Loneliness is pervasive. There is a loneliness seed in the bodies of men, women, old and young. When you pry open the hard shell, the seed is trust, kindness, strength, breakthrough, sublimation, and relief. The ten stories, written with deep emotional warmth, reveal the sweet and salty life and tell the ten kinds of unspeakable loneliness. Jian Yu writes about the real joy and bitterness in life with a flexible, graceful and humorous writing style.

"Red Baby" is a prose documentary written by Jian Yu deliberately to get close to the reality of raising babies. It tells about her anxiety as a first-time mother and her various emotions of excitement, fear, expectation and frustration in the process of raising a new life with her own hands. With his beautiful and clever words, the author faithfully records the growth process of newborns and conveys practical parenting tips. On the other hand, the "Secret Words" series sneaks into the private inner world, traces the origin of life, and witnesses the training process of female characters. It writes the most sincere contrast between a woman's present and past, and also points out a possible new path for women caught between tradition and modernity.

"Nv'er Hong" is a collection of Jian Yu's creations between 1991 and 1996. It is complementary to "Rouge Basin", which was written at the same time, but has different themes and expression methods. This book explores the inner world of women, listens to their voices, and gets a glimpse of their emotions. It uses a genre between prose and novels to travel between various female appearances in the past and present. It insists on self-gender typicality, tracking and searching, and by not flinching or hesitating, it can discover and copy the abundant magnificence and nobility in it.

This book is the only collection of sketches written by Jian Yu in the past thirty years of his writing career. It is divided into three parts: "Seven Seasons", "One Thought Connects Three Thousand Worlds" and "Flowing Clues". "Seven Seasons" is Jian Yu's only sketch collection. In this column, Jian Yu looks at the world from a unique perspective, and all living beings appear to be living and happy in the daily necessities of life. "One Thought Connects Three Thousand Worlds" was written by Jian Yu after lingering in the stone garden for several days, observing the posture of the stones and distinguishing the texture of the stones. Over time, he could vaguely feel the emotions and consciousness of the stones and heard about their ups and downs life experience, so he wrote seventy-four short pieces. In the past twenty years, the sketches and short sentences have been sifted into a small pile, rustling, old feelings and new sighs symphony. Listening to my ears, it felt like I had shouted to the distant mountains many years ago, and now the mountains were sending out their echoes.

Lan Qingxuan, a miracle doctor of a generation, travels through the unfavored second lady of Chenglan Mansion, and comes with all kinds of white lotuses, green tea bitches, hypocrites and real scoundrels! Food poisoned? Hack her dowry? Pushed off a cliff? You can use such an old trick!

But who can tell her how the husband she picked up at random could be so evil, surrounded by experts who helped her kill her concubine, aunt, aunt, and sister, and his methods were crueler and smarter than hers, yet he stayed by her side, eating her, drinking her, living in her, and finally said that he liked her!

His methods were crueler and smarter than hers, but he stayed by her side to eat her, drink her, live in her, and finally said that he liked her!

This book is the work of the famous Chinese prose writer Jian Yu who has accumulated ten years of transformation. The writing has changed from the fresh and gentle style of the past, and looks at the ups and downs of the world with a more sharp and humorous perspective. As she mentioned in the book: "I feel that when this book enters the black linen Period; the taste is due to anger, and some chapters even have a burnt taste." Jian Yue looks at the world with a calm gaze and depicts this era with a sharper pen. She observes the ups and downs of the world from a mature perspective and sighs at the helplessness of middle age. I believe that in this work, readers can get to know another Jian Yu and see this era in her eyes.

Jian Yu, graduated from the Chinese Department of National Taiwan University and is a famous contemporary prose writer. This series is her two famous masterpieces "The Red Girl" and "Water Questions". "Nv'er Hong" is a collection of Jian Yu's creations between 1991 and 1996. It is complementary to "Rouge Basin", which was written at the same time, but has different themes and expression methods. This book explores the inner world of women, listens to their voices, and gets a glimpse of their emotions. It uses a genre between prose and novels to travel between various female appearances in the past and present. It insists on self-gender typicality, tracking and searching, and by not flinching or hesitating, it can discover and copy the abundant magnificence and nobility in it. "Water Questions" is Jian Yu's first book. It uses the heart of a pure girl to narrate the transformation of life inside and outside the university campus. The writing style is natural and full of creative connotations.

There is a strange rouge body odor in Taipei, like a piece of balm mixed with various flower essences. It accidentally fell into a wrinkled waste pond, slowly relaxed in the rain and sun, came to life, evaporated the demonic mist in the clouds, and learned how to be a captive. People, let them suffer between wildness and conservatism, reincarnate in chaos and clarity, be entangled in obsession and oblivion, breathe between the sacred and the vulgar, wander between abandonment and return, and keep crawling in despair and longing. The book extensively records the trainee career of "I", a middle-aged soul who has not yet been cured of the chronic illness of wandering, in a city called "Taipei". Starting from "Rouge Basin", Jian Yue shifted his focus from the introspection of expressing personal experience in his early years to the observation of the gap between urban and rural areas and the human feelings in the world.

"Water Questions" is Jian Yu's first book. It uses the heart of a pure girl to narrate the transformation of life inside and outside the university campus. The writing style is natural and full of creative connotations. This book is divided into six volumes, beginning with "Hua Gao" and ending with "Hua Yin". The preface of each volume sets out the main theme, making the entire book continuous and integrated into the whole. Each chapter has its own meaning and is also the answer to the mystery of the whole book. Jian Yu hopes that through such a design, he can clearly record the historical traces of the past soul. "Shuiwen" is also called by Jian Yu as his "chronological history".

Winner of Taiwan's three major prose awards, Jinshi Hall Person of the Year, best-selling author, and contemporary Chinese prose master, Jian Yue's thirty-year writing hardcover commemorative edition includes "Water Questions", "Daughter's Red", "The Fainting Forest" and "Rouge Basin". Jian Yu specially wrote a new preface to review the prose journey in the past thirty years. Specially included are precious photos related to Jian Yu, which are of more commemorative significance.

Liu Sheng, the embroidered clothes envoy, was ordered to go to the prince's fiefdom to investigate a suspicious case, but he gradually got involved in an invisible vortex during his trip. Relatives become enemies, lovers kill each other. No matter who you are, you are just a Hongyu on the rapids. You can't help yourself and your fate is miserable...

In fact, I have forgotten him and what he looks like. I no longer remember anything between me and him at that time. Because it's him, just him. It's you, it's us, it's them

In "Who is Waiting for You in the Shining Silver Place", the author conducts a comprehensive discussion on "birth, old age, illness and death". The book contains not only family stories that are close to life, but also thought-provoking social events, as well as the thoughts and perceptions of life by famous philosophers. The author uses beautiful and delicate prose to tell readers about the joys and sorrows of life as well as the loneliness of love and hate. While conveying the sentiment that "a complete life should be full of mixed flavors, and not excluding scars all over", he also shows his strong, cheerful and open-minded attitude towards life.

Is there a book that carries the life, old age, illness and death in the world? Is there a book that writes all the joys and sorrows of life? Is there a book that collects the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in the heart? Is there a book that is a song of life? In this book, Jian Yue collects and compiles the old manuscripts accumulated over more than 30 years of writing, those chronicles of growth, those reasons and touches on the road to literature, those traces of the intersection of life and history, those feelings of conversations with friends, those deep feelings about the artistic situation and the ecology of literary friends, to build a quiet path on paper, let the trees and flowers bloom all the way, and the path takes shape. Each stage of life is like a trail, and we are guided by inexplicable forces to be on it - the younger we are, the fewer choices we have. However, in these few opportunities, every choice we make has incredible power and determines which path our life will take. Time pushes us forward, one path after another. As we walk along it, we decide that this is everything. Time is slow, as if it is flowing in a circle with no exit. The sorrow and separation are so heavy, and the joy and happiness are so vivid. Unexpectedly, a breeze blows by. Looking back, at a certain step that cannot be noticed, life has entered another path. Such a heavy tragic story in the past is actually a relic that can only be seen by looking through the gaps in the branches and using the stars to mark the direction.

People are more often like a piece of manuscript paper. The elves in the starry sky occasionally fold their wings to write, and then they have notes. The words selected in the book are the traces of the spiritual project being carried out day and night, and the images of wandering between life and life, nature and reality, individuals and groups, human relationships and literary affairs. This "private book" is divided into five chapters based on time. Therefore, there is no deliberate classification of subject matter, just like the content of life comes at once. In terms of arrangement, I leave part of the sky to you to write, as our private words.

"Only because I am in this mountain" is the second book compiled by Jian Yu since he started writing professionally. It contains more than 30 essays, divided into five series. He experiences the life situation outside Foshan with a sincere curiosity, is quietly moved, and sincerely praises it; he also writes about the mellow family affection, the text has context but the meaning has no context; and he writes about the detailed awareness of the love between men and women, but the relationship is there but not. Jian Yue is thoughtful, sensitive and talented, and has a keen eye and ear for everyone around her. She has developed a mellow sentence structure from classical articles, which is very impressive.

Still nostalgic for being alone, on the ninth floor in the city center, I often close the blinds and use the gesture of isolation to return to myself, go to the fields with bare feet, and write on manuscript paper. The background of "Afternoon Tea" is the desire to escape from the real world. The first series of "Afternoon Tea" uses tea as a metaphor for the principles and interests of life; the second series of "A Plate of Shooting Stars" travels through the past and present, intertwining the virtual and the real, and the fragrance of thoughts flows along the tip of the pen. There are occasional hawking sounds in the streets late at night, like a patrolman on the edge of a dream. The hustle and bustle of the day has gone with the wind and become a distant past; I will simply drink tea, think or not, write or not write, exist or not exist. After reading it, go and drink tea separately. Some of the taste will flow into your heart, and some will disappear.

Jian Yue said that in "The Fainting Woods", "some are crawling through ordinary things, refining the taste of life, or nostalgic about old feelings in the hometown, or chatting about travels, what they saw and thought while reading, some are transformed into novelistic fables, or some are returning to oneself to record the experiences and insights of growth, creation, and dreams..." This is a collection of essays that Jian Yu records his ordinary life, nostalgia, travel, and reading experiences, and is exquisitely conceived.

"I" traveled around the world when I was young, so I saw a lot of things. These secrets - maybe you have heard of them - made me believe that there are ghosts in this world.
