Emma “Must Seed Inn”
A Flower of Chivalrous Ideal
This is a novel with a novel narrative that blends traditional martial arts stories with modern social life, trying to reconstruct a transcendent chivalrous new world in the secular world. The strongest feeling when I first read this novel is that it is “fresh and lovely”. The owner of Mustard Inn Xiao Wan can be regarded as an ideal flower full of chivalrous spirits blooming from the world’s Cinema.
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” with a sense of life and pain in urban life, and is also a “bystander” of the restless and uneasy souls in our current social 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 situation has caused the heroine’s inner belief to collapse. When she wants to get rid of her “life that makes her “shaking”, 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”
Mind-life in the small town
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, but he has stretched his brushstrokes ahead of his age. But this time, he used the situation of the young man who was good at in the past in the squeeze of physical survival as a specific background and detail grid of 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”, and then 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 Komiks city people is another profound meaning in the novel. Can imagined stories really transcend specific life? It was originally going to be “indefinitely”What is the meaning of novels trying to “subdivided”? The difference between the spirit of young people is probably because middle-aged people begin to assume spiritual room and want to use this to reactivate some of the “dream-chasing” journeys.

Chi Zijian’s “Steamed Horse Boots”
The value in the life genealogy
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, human nature, death, or survival, they all maintain immortal value in the genealogy of life.
The novel Cinema‘s “narration” method adopts, allowing 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 language of the Mongolian tribe interact to formCinema‘s language style is slightly dazzling, uncomfortable, but full of personality.
The work is premiering with fables. A baby appeared in the ram’s belly, a paradoxical and weird ominous sign, so the “prairie faded” and the world suddenly changed; “I was shocked…” A series of mysterious and strange suspense symbols emerged 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 and vastness of the waves in the South China Sea. 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 the great turning point in history. This extreme juxtaposition reflects the insignificant lonely coldness of his individual 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 teenagers to lead readers to take the whistling train, and together captures the broken shadows of the years from Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen Railway Station, and captures the quiet and lost innocence of Xiaoqins in the center of their growth.
In the depths of history and human nature, in the residential compound 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”
Speculations why he couldn’t extricate himself
“Maybe I changed my faith after leaving that city. “This is the first sentence of the novel “The 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, I found that Babaylan This is indeed a novel with profound connotation, a novel that touches the faith and inner world. The novel constantly reproduces the ups and downs and fluctuations experienced by the father who committed suicide by jumping off a building and committing suicide in his life. We also know that his father is The most memorable scene of the heroism, righteousness, passion, stubbornness and frustration of Komiks was the details of his notes.
Babaylan‘s narrative on the surface, we see the soul of our father and know that he is or has encountered a spiritual crisis. What we want to know most is undoubtedly what he can’t extricate himself?
So, do we know? No, we can only speculate. And this is back 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 challenging writing adventure, that is, he wanted to write a short story that was “completely different from others”.
What is incredible is that this short story, less than 10,000 words, writes the ups and downs of life grievances and irresistible human entanglements of a pair of twin sisters, and is full of fate and tragedy.
The novel looks complete from the big picture, the structure is rich and vivid in the small picture, and the characters are full of fullness, which not only greatly expands the artistic space of the short story that reflects history and reality, but alsoIt also deeply conveys the tremor, despair and helplessness of the characters’ souls.
The story tells the story contains sadness in indifference and concern in alienation. The artistic dialectics of small and big, light and heavy unique to short stories can be realized.

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, tried to find the warmth of happy growth and blood ties, and tried to relive the love with the “angel” in my heart in my youth.
However, when he walked through the once familiar “small place”, he found that all the comforts became hard, profit-oriented reality, and all the admiration and longing turned into simple carnal joy. The emotions between people are constantly alienating, but the calculation of interests between each other has become a daily routine. They form a close isomorphic relationship with the cold and mud-covered streets of their hometown, so that the returning wanderers can no longer find inner comfort.
If we think that “Angel” is a simple nostalgic work that conveys the author’s inquiry about the utilitarian reality of Chinese societyCinema, it seems that it is not bad. But I prefer to regard it as a fable, because every time we return to our hometown, Cinema will always preset countless beautiful scenes in our hearts, and they will eventually be smashed to pieces without exception, but we are happy.
