Are you that person who thinks you are kind and harmless, but is actually cold and cruel? "People Who Harm Me" contains eight novels written by Cui Enrong. In the author's words, those relationships that ended silently in sobs, those indifferent and belated disappointments, those indifferent and determined turns and disregards, together build an emotional network that is more complex than the plot of the story. The wife of a prisoner who suffered injustice, the student who was domestically abused, the believer who fled to Africa to practice asceticism, the family members of the victims of the shipwreck, the confidants in the foreign country isolated by the war... The people in the story are wandering on the edge of the secular world, most of them are weak and quiet, harmless but have been hurt repeatedly, and it is difficult to escape the melancholy and pain. Their hearts form their own unique texture with inherent trauma, which cannot be erased or repaired. The perpetrators are often harmless people like them. The comfort and happiness that the world longs for can always be realized after shielding the loneliness and pain of others. Cui Enrong recorded these cruel stories in a gentle style. They exude coldness under the warm sunshine, and reveal great loss in the intimacy. When memories crackle silently, half of the people in the story move forward without hesitation, while the other half stay where they are forever, with only loneliness echoing.

Three stories and one interview. The story is adapted from a script co-written by the two authors, as if people who have lost their identities are trapped in absurd situations, and they are living in their own Rashomon: a man from Angola broke into the airport with vinegar, causing a dispute about identity during the interrogation; a man planned to kill his lovers who carried past memories, but was defeated in their narrative; a robber who visited his grandmother and granddaughter during the civil war unexpectedly revealed a secret past. The interview revolved around the two's upbringing and writing concepts. They "laughed, joked, and bet that literary creation is not always an act of deep loneliness."
