"Left Hand Diary" collects Zong Lihua's short novels and is divided into four parts: collection of works, reviews of works, creative experience and creative chronology. The work has profound ideas, clever conception, twists and turns, humor in simplicity, warmth in ridicule, and philosophy of life in the eloquent narrative. It shows the author's profound experience and unique thinking about life, and has a very special enlightenment significance for readers and writers.

In life, are we like the Midong couple who scrimp on food and clothing for the sake of the house, or even seem to be inseparable? Are we, like Qiu Hong, suffering from continuous betrayal of love, or even desperate? Are we like the fat lady who works hard and still remains inconspicuous, or even gets stepped on? Are we like Qiu Hongchen, who pursues love but fails, and still endures loneliness? Do we envy Ma San'er's ability to control the wind and rain, but ignore the swords and swords he faces? Do we still have the joy of setting off firecrackers as a child, even if we can't find them anywhere? Are we like Xiaojun, who is confident, has low self-esteem and gives up on himself, but still has someone to love? There are also Wang Datou, Liu Cui, Xiao Rou, Xiao Man, Xiao Le, An Ran, Xiao Yu... Who among them are we?

"Beautiful City" is narrated from the first-person perspective of the writer Fang Ziyue, using some diaries he accidentally discovered as a guide, slowly showing Xiaoqin's various living conditions, and gradually restoring a murder incident. In the meantime, there are also stories about various characters such as the wage earner Xiao Wu, Xiao Qin's daughter Miduo'er, the police officer Lao Hei, and the painter Ding Yi. Zong Lihua, who has worked at a grassroots police station, is very skilled and confident in handling such subjects. Through a murder case, he shows us the themes that he has continued to express in his previous works - reflection and redemption. At the same time, it also shows the writer's strength in criticizing reality and the depth of reflection on human nature.
