Zhu Wenying's self-selected collection of essays contains precious words from more than ten years. Zhu Wenying has her unique and keen understanding of literature, art and life. The South she writes requires us to spend a lifetime or more to forgive, accept, embrace, and re-encounter it.

This book is a collection of Zhu Wenying's novels full of complex thoughts and women as protagonists wrapped in love and hatred. It includes the author's classic short stories such as "Dangerous Building", "Canary", "An Italian in the Desert", "Little Taro Goes to Rice Village", "Scandal", "Age of Abstinence", "Chaos", "Fifteenth Middle School", "City of Courtyards", "Bronze", "Dumb", and "A Night Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze". The author uses a consistently transcendent and refined writing style, a sad tone, and unique "lyrical logic" to express it in sharp language that can penetrate the reader's heart. The book is unforgettable for a long time.

The hero and heroine have both experienced hardships, so they both know how to protect themselves and give themselves a good shell, a little tighter and a little tighter. However, they never expected that while rejecting the hurt, they also rejected all possible tenderness. At that time, the first thing I thought of was Zhang Ailing's Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan. They were the same men and women in different eras, but after falling in love, they couldn't help but plot again and again.

The writing is clear, simple and emotional, and at the same time contains the delicacy and delicacy of women. This is the main feature of Zhu Wenying's work. As one of the representatives of the group of writers in the 1970s, readers know more about the beautiful scenes she created in her novels. This work uses prose and dialogue to show us her vivid and three-dimensional inner world from multiple perspectives such as the writer's perception of life, understanding of literature and reading habits.

After three marriages, she has already calmed down and no longer struggles. However, her destined lover appears. When the sunshine really shines on her until more than twenty years later, how does she choose? I heard the legendary story about Xiong Yan and Chu Yu by chance at a class reunion. In this small southern city, I opened a small coffee shop. At the same time, he also worked part-time as a psychological counselor. In terms of psychological research, the main purpose of my research was to analyze the basic characteristics of people in group life. To put it simply, it is like a kind of fish that lives in a group and relies on the leader fish to lead the group. The researchers destroyed the head fish's sense of direction and released it, so all the fish followed the tail fish around in vain and died of exhaustion. The fish's obedient behavior stems from evolved genes.

In "Water Marriage", Zhu Wenying's brushwork is penetrating and she overlooks the world and people's hearts from an omniscient perspective. Traveling between the past and the real life of modern people, and comparing the unruly life of the gourmet Zhu Zizi in the old days with the calculating calculations of modern people such as Shen Xiaohong and Kang Yuanming, "Water Marriage" reveals the pain of the times. Modern industry has made people become mechanical, cold, and with clear purpose. The novel is permeated with the sharpness of critical realism style and has a rich texture.

The class divide is as ubiquitous as a shadow, penetrating deep into the bones. This is a story within a nest. The "prey" suddenly becomes the tester. Who is the prey? Who is the hunter? One me, Xia Bingqiu, Zha Lili. The last time the three of us met was two years ago at an academic conference at the Freie Universität Berlin. Our relationship at that time was as follows: Xia Bingqiu and I were invited to attend the meeting at the same time. Xia Bingqiu is a German-Chinese and lives in Berlin, and I took a German flight from Shanghai to Berlin via Frankfurt. We've never met each other. As for Zha Lili, she has been my best friend since I was eighteen, and this relationship has lasted for almost another eighteen years. At that time, she happened to be studying for her final MBA course in Germany and had a short vacation, so she decided to come to Berlin to meet me. Of course, at the same time, I also met Xia Bingqiu, who was also a stranger.
