"Seven Voices" uses line drawing to write seven stories about people in Nanjing and Hong Kong. He no longer resorts to the mystery and wonder of "The Mysterious Crow", but instead outlines the scenes of life in a regular manner; he is particularly comfortable writing about the personnel and affairs in his hometown of Nanjing. His narrative is gentle and clear, full of tolerance and sympathy for the various disappointments in life, but at the same time he maintains a reserved distance as a bystander. "The Biography of Uncle Yu" and "Axia" are particularly touching. The former can almost be read as an allegory for the rise of the market economy in the new era, and there is considerable room for discussion. The latter continues the authentic European and Western realism style, reflecting the various aspects of life through the experiences of simple-minded people from the bottom society. As Professor Zhang Ruifen said, the text is fresh and clear, and combined with the narrator Mao Guo's affectionate yet reserved perspective, it appears gentle and honest. Indeed, he is unique among young writers born in mainland China.
