City Gossip (small Literature·pocket Library)

Xi Bang

63K0

"City Gossip" depicts the fleeting gossip of urban life with fine brushstrokes: women think their love is sincere and deep, but they can't get rid of superficial moral troubles, which turns out to be an empty delusion; noises from unknown sources make men sleep and eat uneasily. In fact, the noise does not come from the outside, but the frenzied clamor of inner desires. In "Invasion", chastity and sensuality are only one step away, and normal people and schizophrenia patients are only one thought away. What seems to be confusing suspense reveals the inevitable desolation. This kind of desolation is "a harmonious and sparse scenery after being used to seeing countless human beings". Xi Bang, whose original name was Huang Zengli, once used the pen name Zhenli. She is a "novelist with developed senses and aesthetic appeal" who is committed to shaping the various mental and psychological changes brought about by the diseases of the times on women. He has published novels "Details of Love", "The Fourth Kind of Emotion", and anthology novella "Invasion", etc.

If time were to fast forward, Ba Feng would definitely see the road of life looking back as a continuous hairpin bend. But at the beginning of this story, he had never heard of this word - hairpin bend in English, a sharp bend of less than 90 degrees, shaped like a girl's U-shaped hairpin. People in E County call it "looking back". They overlap on some mountains in the outskirts of the place and reach up to the clouds. Ba Feng was only in his first year of high school at that time. He was dark and thin, with thick eyebrows and eyes, and two white rabbit teeth looming between his half-closed lips. The boy didn't have any bad habits. He only had one shortcoming: his grades were poor and he was ranked among the bottom 20 among the top ten in E County. Only 20 of the 200 graduates from that school can go to college every year. His mother, Qiu Xinrong, basically despaired of his future. She always told her neighbors that she just tied the baby to the No. 10 Middle School and locked her up, and had no other thoughts.
