In "The Present World", the author traces the life experience of a grain of sand, observes the records left by a few clouds in history and artistic works, and traces the footprints of paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin's mule team in the Chinese desert. The form of expression is also unusual. The scenes described in the book are distant and unfamiliar, and the narrative tone used is simple and self-possessed, with almost no personal emotions. Looking from the present to the past, from China to Israel, from birth to death, we ask: Why do flaws and beauty coexist? If there are miracles, why are there tragedies? What is time and where is eternity? When we wake up and face the deep shore of eternal time, when darkness covers the far slopes of time, this is the time to abandon everything - such as our reason and will; then, it is time for us to turn to work hard to get home. Except for thoughts, except for the firm change of heart, except for the slow thinking of where to find love and who to love, the rest are just short stories and stories that have nothing to do with this moment.

Li Yinhe exclusively authorized it and personally edited the entire manuscript. Wang Xiaobo's only dystopian novel is a rhapsody of future society. Li Yinhe and Feng Tang sincerely recommend! The author uses two lines to narrate. One line describes the painter, novelist, and their unusual love who stayed in the police station and was whipped. The other line describes himself as a future historian who made various "mistakes" because he had to follow the principles of governing history. He returned to his original life and identity and became a "normal person" without any desires. These two sets of narratives often intersect and overlap. In the so-called conflict between reality and fiction, the author creates situations that allow for interspersion, irony, ridicule and playful analysis. This is less a prediction of the future world than a parable of modern life, a dystopian story. Not only is the future world where the protagonist lives not better than the present, but it intensifies the absurdity of modern life.
