"Cherry Street" is an urban novel with a postmodern artistic style, showing certain postmodern creative styles and artistic tendencies, such as fragmentation, uncertainty, secularization, irony, etc. The traditional grand narrative is deconstructed and carefully reconstructed. The characters in the article examine, deconstruct and reconstruct the common living environment of "small towns" with a post-modern perspective, and discover the connotation and meaning of backwardness and stagnation, life and survival, consumption and pursuit hidden in it. The characters in small towns are not ants. They have their own philosophy of survival and way of thinking, and have a different mental state from people in big cities: they are stupid and cunning; they are ordinary and extraordinary; they are small and great. Those daily experiences and events in daily life that seem to be fragmented and trivial form more or less a part of past history (micro-history).

In addition to realistic themes such as "Hu Die Hospitalized", "Pregnancy", and "Mao Cai'er", some of the novels in this book are legendary stories with bizarre plots or strange characters' behaviors, but they are not particularly unreliable. She is good at telling the personal experiences, legends or legends of ordinary people. The content of this book is sometimes close to "ambition". As the saying goes, the world is so big that there are no wonders. For example, "The Carpenter and His Wife and Son", "Er Niu Mom Cupping", etc. There is no gorgeous opening, just worldly surprise. There is always a legendary story behind every character. However, most of her novels can be expanded to describe the human world and the life at the bottom of society in detail. For example, in "Er Dao Ye", which describes "returning a favor", the brief words of Er Dao Ye's mother-in-law Tian Suhua and the two small actions at the end have revealed the harshness of the world and the value of human kindness, and have the artistic effect of playing hard to get.
