AiCinema 1950 witch clothes drawMa “Must Seed Inn”
A Ideal Flower of Chivalrous
This is a novel with a novel narrative, integrating traditional martial arts stories with modern social life, trying to reconstruct a new world of chivalrous in the secular world. The strongest feeling when I first read this novel is that it is “fresh and lovely”. Xiao Wan, the owner of Mustard Inn, can be called an ideal flower full of chivalrous spirits blooming among secular sentient beings.
The novel fully establishes the character Xiao Wan in this cross-narrative between reality on the shore and the high shore. She is an “escaper” of urban life with a sense of life and pain, and at the same time, she is also a “bystander” of our current society who will give birth to an restless and uneasy soul in life. The novel has a ease of writing, a lofty style, and has “the beauty of literature and the truth of thought”, which ultimately points to the issue of human soul exile and placement.

Chen Chongzheng’s “Remembering the Power of Guanyin”
The post-80s writer brings a new experience
If the increasingly bizarre status quo has caused the heroine’s inner belief to collapse. When she wants to get rid of her “life that makes her “shaking all over her body”, she can only destroy herself in a simple and cruel way.
Survival state, as the creative theme of literature, is never easy, but it is precisely because a good work has a transcendent cognitive and guiding role that this theme has become the goal of writers’ pursuit and competition.
This novel by Chen Chongzheng brings us surprises. With his unique imagination and pioneering narrative style, as well as his in-depth thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…”, he disassembled and reassembled real life, opening up a channel of inspiration for readers.

Chan Goodbye “Circus is Coming”
The middle-aged Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawspiritual room
The young Chen Goodbye is well-known in the literary world for a series of “county town novels”.
He is still a young man at present, Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw but has stretched his brushstrokes ahead of his age. But this time, he used the situation of the young people he was good at in the squeeze of material survival as a grid of specific backgrounds and details for the characters who grew up further, and emerged from his livelihood, just like a tenacious spider who had to look into the sky during the rainy season – “The Circus is Coming”, so he showed a strange spirit, and we got a good novel with “It’s about to” as the driving force of time and space construction.
Not only that, the intertextuality between “circus” and people in small towns is another profound meaning in the novel. Can imagined stories really transcend specific life? The fact that there is originally something that needs to be “not to be said” is what is the meaning of the novel trying to “speak”? Enthusiasm with young peopleThe difference is probably because middle-aged people began to assume the mental room of Babaylan 1990 cloth draw, and wanted to use this to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that they once had.

Chi Zijian’s “Steamed Horse Boots”
The value in the life lineage is immortal
Chi Zijian As an excellent writer who has been in the literary world for many years, he seems to have few short stories in recent years. The short story “Stewed Horse Boots” has a bit of a deep and profound meaning.
In a short time, Chi Zijian incorporated many elements such as history and reality, war and human nature, animals and human beings, and wrote the desolation of history and the warmth of human nature. In the heavy snow all over the sky, Chi Zijian’s graceful and calm brushstrokes still maintain her unique softness and considerate even though she shows the coldness and cruelty in a hostile environment. Whether it is wolf nature Babaylan 1990 cloth draw, whether it is human nature, death, or survival, it maintains its immortal value in the genealogy of life.
The novel adopts the “narration from a distance” method to allow the legend of the father to slowly unfold in the vision of “I”. It is the spirit of modern novels that makes such old stories of the Anti-Japanese United Nations shine with new literary brilliance.

Du Lan’s “Mihuo”
Cultural Palette and Mongolian Narrative
Du Lan’s short story “Mihuo” first grasped me with a personality style. There is no doubt that she belongs to the Mongolian people – the sheep are walking in the wind and snow, and the “Ga Le-Ga Le-” is earth-shaking. However, the author was born in 1999, which made me connect the language of my work with the Internet. Discourses like “Youth is keen on games” are full of the color of the Internet youth subculture. The language style of the Internet clan and the long-lasting Mongolian language interact to create a slightly dazzling and uncomfortable Komiks1960 witch cloth drawAnother personalized language style.
The work is premiering with fables. A baby appeared in the ram’s belly, a paradoxical and weird sign of ominous sign, so the “prairie faded” and the world suddenly changed; “I was shocked…” A series of mysterious and weird Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw suspense symbols highlighted in the middle of the real world. The indescribable symbols and pictures constitute the charming allegorical characteristics of the work.

Huang Jinshu’s “Late Youth”
The Elegy of Desiring Change
Huang Jinshu’s narrative has wild imagination and distinct style, stirring up the mystery of the South China Sea waves and the vastness of Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw. His short story “The Late Youth” integrates time, history, memory and identity, which is thought-provoking.
Although the mysterious young man has the ability to curb the flow of time, he still cannot catch up with the time threshold of a major turning point in history. This extreme juxtaposition reflects the insignificant lonely coldness of his personal in the face of the torrent of history.
Magic is both an unfulfilled hope and an elegy for a desire to change, presenting us with a unique fable of modernity. The late youth, that is, the unfinished youth, is not only an inquiry of cultural identity by the Chinese in Southeast Asia, but also a revelation and breakthrough of the incompleteness of modern Chinese literature worldwide.

I would rather “Train”
The Shadow of the Year The Voice of Time
Thinkers would rather be good at literary exploration. The novel uses the wildness of the former teenager to lead readers to take the whistling train and capture Beijing Liu togetherThe broken shadows of the Lichang to Yongding Gate FireBabaylan 1990 cloth draw capture the clarity of the soul and the lost innocence of the young qins in the growth center.
In the depths of history and human nature, in the residential compound Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw and the story space outside the capital, the sound of the train whistle turned into the sound of time in the novel, and rushed towards the youth with a bang, gradually becoming the ideal light of the novel, and also creating the author’s new historical narrative.
The narrative of the works is concise and spiritual, resolute and rhythmic; the novel is rough and warm, desolate and clear.

Shao Li’s “Father on the Rooftop”
Speculation why he couldn’t extricate himself
“Maybe I changed my faith after leaving that city.” This is the first sentence of the novel “Father on the Rooftop”. It is precisely because of this sentence that I value this novel. Especially the word “faith”, although slightly abrupt and introductory, it implies some differences in this work. After reading it, I found that this is indeed a novel with profound connotation, a novel that touches the world of faith and heart. The novel constantly reproduces the ups and downs and fluctuations experienced by his father who committed suicide by jumping off a building. We have also learned about the bravery, righteousness, passion, stubbornness and frustration of his father. The most memorable scene is the details of his notes.
Stripping the surface narrative, we have a glimpse of the father’s soul and knowing that he is or has encountered a spiritual crisis. What we want to know most is undoubtedly why he cannot pull himself out because of him?
So, do we know? No, we can only speculate. And this returns to the first sentence of the novel.

Ye Zhaoyan’s “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”
The unique artistic dialectics
Ye Zhaoyan beautifully completed a well-prepared artistic fight with “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”, which was also a very challenging writing adventure, that is, he wanted to write short stories that were “completely different from others.”
IncredibleBabaylan 1990 cloth drawBelieve in that Babaylan 1990 cloth drawThis short story, less than 10,000 words, writes the ups and downs of twin sisters’ life grace and irresistible entanglement of human nature, full of destiny and tragedy.
The novel is in a complete structure from the big picture, and the small picture is rich and vivid. The characters have a fullness that is about to emerge. It not only greatly expands the artistic space of short stories that reflects history and reality, but also deeply conveys the tremor, despair and helplessness deep in the characters’ souls.

Zhang Huiwen’s “Angel”
Find inner comfort
” Angel” is a delicate work full of sentimental feelings. Around my father’s funeral, “I” who returned from a foreign land, with a desire to find the warmth of happy growth and blood ties, and tried to relive the love with the “angel” in my heart when I was young.
However, when he walked through this once familiar “small place”, he found that all comfort became a hard, profit-oriented reality, and all admiration and longing were transformedBecome a simple carnal joy. The emotions between people are constantly alienatingKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw, but the calculation of interests between each other has become a daily routine. It Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw and their hometown’s cold and mud-covered streets, forming a close isomorphic relationship, so that the returning wanderers can no longer find inner comfort.
If Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawWe think “Angel” is a simple nostalgic work that conveys the author’s inquiry about the utilitarian reality of Chinese society, it seems that it is not bad. But I prefer to regard it as a fable, because every time we return to our hometown, we always preset the beautiful scenes of no number of Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw in our hearts, and we were finally smashed without exception, but we were happy.
