Peace Military Series
General Fiction和平军旅系列
Yan Lianke
"Peaceful Military Series I and II" includes Yan Lianke's most representative medium-length works, including "Army March", "The Return of the Sergeant", "Peaceful Snow", "No. 4 Forbidden Zone" and a series of popular masterpieces. "Peaceful Military Series" re-examines the "peasant soldiers" in the new era from a straight-up perspective, showing a heroic scroll that is both typical and ordinary, clear and fuzzy, distinct and ambiguous. As the author said: There are no heroes in my writing. Because, in my opinion, whoever can survive hardships and always have a smile on his face is not a hero? Among soldiers, a general is not necessarily a great person, and a soldier is not necessarily a humble person. They are all ordinary people just like us, people of flesh and blood. People first, everything else comes after...

速求共眠:我与生活的一段非虚构
Yan Lianke
A writer "Yan Lianke" who is coerced by fame and fortune; a piece of non-fiction that is realistic in Vanity Fair; a series of memories and descriptions of neither love nor love; the affirmation and denial of plots and events; the intersection and superposition of one voice after another; the interaction and mutual complementation of documentary and fiction one after another; does the writer write the novel, or does the novel write the writer, director and all living beings? Is suffering saving the true feelings of life, or is true love covering up the darkness of life like a curtain? What "Sleep Together" seeks is a kneeling to the truth, or a reflection of the era created by people, fame, wealth and desire?
