Introduction to the novel
"I Deliver Food in Los Angeles" draws on the documentary style of "I Deliver Delivery in Beijing" and develops a long documentary novel from the first perspective of Chen Mo, a frustrated domestic literary practitioner. The protagonist went to Los Angeles to find a job and was frustrated. He was forced to buy a second-hand car to make ends meet, and became a full-time food delivery service on three major food delivery platforms. He traveled to areas with different styles such as the Chinese District of San Gabriel, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and South Los Angeles all year round. The work relies on a large number of real details of the industry to carefully dismantle the survival ledger of overseas riders, recording the order grabbing rules, high vehicle costs, floating tipping culture and hidden hidden dangers to street security. While driving around day after day, he met all kinds of people from foreign lands and saw the extreme division between rich and poor in this city. While dealing with the inner circle of Chinese riders, he is also deeply involved in the spiritual pull between his homeland and overseas. The book abandons the clichés of counter-attack novels, and the text is exquisite and beautiful. It uses short door-to-door interactions to describe the wandering plight of new immigrants, and explores the dilemma of life choices faced by strangers in the midst of traffic and sunset.
