Twenty years after the end of the nuclear war, humanity is nearly extinct and the world is in ruins. Buildings collapsed, forests were burned to ashes, and the surface covered with radioactive dust was occupied by various mutant creatures. The last survivors huddled in Moscow subway stations and tunnels, establishing new groups, towns and civilizations. While struggling to survive, they also began endless struggles and killings.

Is the year 1999 we have been through the real year 1999? When the third-line construction disappeared into history, the mysterious mountain town still guarded the core secrets of the Republic. It wasn't until May 4, 1999, that four teenagers discovered something strange in the town due to the disappearance of their companions, and stepped into the whirlpool of secrets.

Within twenty-four hours, three fantastic events of resurrection from the dead opened the door to chaos in the universe. "I was chased by a bunch of weirdos and had no way out. When I came back to my senses, my ex-boyfriend turned into a Super Hero and showed up."

Which world is real and which world is illusion, are you sure?

The spirit-binding ceremony has not yet begun, but the atmosphere in the hall is already eerie. The long and narrow shadow between the rock walls seemed to have its own ritual, dancing, swaying, and silently shouting at her. The spirit binder straightened up, holding the lamp jar in his hand, and walked slowly to the wall. The glow of fireflies in the jar dimly illuminated her white arms and long nails. Tuo Wensha is a tall woman. She is dressed in silk that clings to her body. It is so thin that it is almost transparent. Under the fluorescent light, her soft body is revealed, and the curvature of her breasts is vaguely visible. As usual, she smelled damp leather and heard footsteps on the rocky ground. But today, these perceptions were pushed to the hazy edge of consciousness, overshadowed by a distinct and sinister black shadow in my mind. She bent over and placed the jar gently in the corner, then turned back and looked at the four people in front of the long stone table...

Hundreds of years of darkness were swept away, and the world seemed to have just awakened from a deep sleep. McKen leaned on the railing on the edge of the floating iceberg, taking in the vast scenery. While he was excited about this adventure, he couldn't help but have a gloomy thought: Even if the clouds spread thousands of miles away, they were still only part of the sky. Above them, the edge of the large hole in the sky was like a steel ring, framing the circular boundary and barely suppressing the dark clouds in the distance. When I was on the ground, I thought that the sun had covered the entire world, but now I came to the sky and realized that it was just an illusion. The vast view sobered up Malcolm completely. The distance was still dark, and the endless accumulation of dark clouds exuded despair-and they were sailing in that direction. "... Milken, I have to tell you something." Before setting foot on the floating fortress, Yayan pulled him aside alone and said mysteriously, "I don't have time."...

Only at this moment high in the sky did Lu Kai feel that he had a glimmer of possibility to break through the limitations of the world. Because the whole sky is under his feet. Time seems to stand still. Thick clouds covered the entire sky. The thin air was like an invisible hand, caressing the cheek gently, but when it flowed into the lungs, it seemed to suddenly turn into frozen ice. Lu Kai took a breath. Gravity pulled at the peaceful moment, and he finally felt his body being pulled back, away from the leaden clouds. He fell, faster and faster, the ground rushing towards him. Lucai opened his arms to face the coming impact. The moment before landing, he relaxed his tight knees, adjusted the longboard under his feet, and landed calmly on the white ground. A large spread of snowflakes burst out, exploding into a white fog. At this time, Lu Kai had safely rushed out and slid down the slope...

"Night on the Plate" is a collection of short stories. The book contains six short stories, namely "Night on the Plate", "The King of the World", "The Pure Table", "The Flying Elephant Prince", "Thousand Years of Void" and "The Atomic Bomb Bureau". The book takes the role of "journalist" as the main perspective, uses Go, chess, mahjong and other battles as themes, and describes various miracles surrounding board games and table games. This work allows people to see the wonderful universe beyond the boundaries of reason from the board of chess and card games. "Night on the Board" tells the story of an extremely miserable girl who lost her limbs, Yuu Haihara, how she lost her limbs and redeemed herself by gambling, and eventually became a leader in the Japanese Go world. Among them, many authors use the story of Yuu Haihara to express their views on "will" and "destiny". "The King of Earth" tells the story of Marion Tinsley, the undefeated American checkers king. It includes the ins and outs of his battle with computers, as well as his life and views on winning and losing, as well as the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. "Purity Table" tells the story of four mahjong players in the 9th White Phoenix Tournament. It uses a fictional religion called "City Shaman" to convey views on desperate bravery, clever psychological warfare, and intricate emotional collisions between people. "The Flying Elephant Prince" tells the story of an Indian prince and the Buddha. It continues the theme of Chapters Two and Three and revolves around the dialogue about "the complete understanding of life and the birth of the game." "Thousand Years of Void" makes full use of the fairness obtained previously, and the author just puts the intricate human emotions at the core. The solution to the reader's obsession with utter chaos and corruption - something that shows "the end of violence" - is the scene depicted in Japanese chess. To put it simply, this story is equivalent to praying for "the restart of life and the end of the game." In "Atomic Bomb Bureau", the two protagonists from "Night on the Board" appear again, Yuu Haihara and Junichi Aida. Due to the reappearance of the two, all the themes introduced before will come to fruition, and in the process, the author does not shy away from introducing the perspective of the past. It was the game on the day of the atomic bombing. The structure of relationships revolves around the chess game on the day the atomic bomb was dropped.

In 2150 AD, a comet hit the earth and the entire earth turned into a water world. Asia Ark No. 1 Saved 10,000 surviving humans. After more than a year of wandering at sea, we finally arrived at the only unsubmerged area on earth - the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. So humans came ashore, and the plateau chronology officially began. Antimatter research expert Wang Ruoshan accidentally saw a mural of the solar system in the cave. What puzzles Wang Ruoshan is that according to this picture of the solar system, the earth actually has a large satellite called the moon, but the "earth" where he is located does not have such a satellite. With this mystery in mind, Wang Ruoshan uncovered the truth step by step... G581 planet, anti-matter engine, alien civilization, stalker, clone, seeding plan... What is the purpose of the scientific research projects that are constantly being urged to complete? Is the "plateau" where I was born and raised here the "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" of the earth or an alien island?

This story focuses on a space war. Three alien invasion armies came to the solar system with different purposes and posed a great threat to humans on earth. A series of stories revolve around this theme. The author began to design the characters of the Five Elements Witch based on the five elements, one of the most important elements of Chinese culture. Named after a witch, it sets the stage for future plots and is also mysterious. Witches are an important role in ancient China. They evolved into historians and played a huge role in spreading culture. They are not just witches in Western fairy tales, but also have great Chinese characteristics. The Five Elements Thought also represents a kind of simple materialism in ancient China, which highlights the importance of science and technology in war, and then runs through it with culture. The protagonist Mochi travels freely through the universe, working hard but at ease, which is more interesting than life in school. At the end of the work, the city of Chang'an reappears, which is mentioned many times in the work. The author has a deep attachment to the Tang Dynasty and the ancient city. In the context of science fiction, this is an attempt to integrate Chinese culture throughout it, that is, new humanistic science fiction. The three groups of aliens are silicon-based, carbon-based, and carbon-silicon-based life forms. They came to plunder resources, seize cultural relics, and resolve computer crises respectively. The ending also ended in a peaceful way. During the Earth Defense War, all forces on the Earth were complicated and contradictory. The author has constructed several groups of various powers on the earth and superhuman forces, especially superhuman ones, with characters such as the Five Elements Witch, the Three Heroes of China, the Three Elders of the Pyramid, the Twelve Warriors of the Pyramid, and the Thirteen Heroines of the Pacific, etc. The whole story is huge in content, rich in connotation and full of interest.
