This book contains two short stories by Yu Hua. Among them, in "The World Is Like Smoke", the characters are named after Arabic numerals, with a fortune teller as the intersection. Yu Hua uses a restrained and indifferent style to describe weddings and funerals in the world, from birth to death, cruelly pointing to the essence of human existence. "Their Son" focuses on relatively daily family life. In the dialogue between a couple facing "laid off" and their son, the difference between the two generations is keenly captured. The works included in this book were first published in "Harvest". "Harvest", a purely literary magazine founded in 1957, has always been full of vitality and published a large number of works that have caused major repercussions in the history of contemporary literature. It can be called a simplified version of contemporary Chinese literature.

"Shouting in the Drizzle" is a classic text in the 1990s and Yu Hua's first full-length masterpiece. The novel describes the growth and spiritual journey of a young man from Jiangnan. The structure of "Shouting in the Drizzle" comes from the feeling of time, or to be precise, the feeling of time in memory. The narrator travels freely through the three time dimensions of past, present and future, interspersing, gathering and piecing together the fragments of memory.

"I'm as Cowardly as a Mouse" tells the story of the inner growth of a young man who appears to be extraordinarily cowardly, which is a history of fear, insecurity and whims. The plot of "Accidental Incident" is "brain-burning". Discussions about clues in one murder case lead to another murder case, and the truth seems to never be reached. "Reality" uses pure zero-degree emotional intervention to narrate a story of relatives killing each other in an unusually calm and rational manner. Yu Hua believes that "this is a narrative that starts from a nightmare and arrives at a nightmare. For this reason, some people thought that what was flowing in my veins was not blood, but ice particles." Yu Hua is one of the most important writers in contemporary Chinese literary circles. His works have been translated into more than 20 languages ​​and he has won many international literary awards. From the sharp scalpel-like words in the avant-garde literature period to the perfect combination of simplicity and profound connotation in "To Live" and "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood", and even to the perfect combination of simplicity and profound connotation in "Brothers" and "The Seventh Day", Yu Hua's writing has always been irreplaceable and unique. He is also one of the very few writers who enjoys a high reputation both domestically and internationally, in the field of pure literature and in the popular book market.

"The Boy in the Twilight" contains twelve works. This is the closest to reality among all my short stories and short stories. It may be endearing, but it is also full of uneasiness. I think this is the most basic feeling that real life gives us, which is kind and disturbing at the same time. What these short stories and short stories record is another path of my life. Different from the real life path, it is possible to restore it and is accurate. Although the passage of time will cause the paper to become yellowed and the writing to be unclear, every time it is republished it takes on a new look and regains its distinctive image. This is why I love writing so much.

When he got old and knew that no one wanted his blood, he cried.
