Emma “Must Seed Inn”
A Ideal Flower of Chivalrous
This is a novel with a novel narrative and novel meaning. It integrates traditional martial arts stories with modern social life, and tries to reconstruct a new chivalrous world that is transcendent 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’s intercourse between reality on this shore and the high shore of the other shore is fully established in the fork narrative of Xiao Wan. 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 smooth brushstroke, a lofty style, and has “the beauty of literature and the truth of thought”. In the end, Babaylan points to the human soul flowRelease and placement issues.

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. Chen Chongzheng’s novel brings us surprises. With his unique imagination, Komiks and a pioneering narrative, as well as his in-depth thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…”, he disassembled and reassembled the real life life, opening up a channel of inspiration for readers.

Chen Goodbye “The Circus is ComingKomiks Will Coming”
The Spiritual Living in Middle-aged in the Small Town
The Young Chen Goodbye is well-known in the literary world for a series of “county town novels”.
CinemaHe is still a Babaylan, but he 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 the specific background and details grid of characters who grew up further, and emerged from his livelihood, just like a tenacious spider who also had to look into the sky during the rainy season. “The Circus is Coming” showed a strange spirit, and we got an article about “it will be coming” as the driving force of time and space construction force.h.com/”>CinemaCinema‘s good novel.
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? It is originally necessary to be “indiscriminate”, what is the meaning of the novel’s attempt to “speak”? 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 the “dream pursuit” journey.

Chi Zijian “Steamed Horse Boots”
Value in the Life Genealogy
Chi Zijian As an excellent writer who has been in the literary world for many years, Chi Zijian seems to have few short stories in recent years. The short story of “Steamed Horse Boots” is a bit of a deep meaning.
In a short time, Chi Zijian integrates history and reality, war and human nature, animals and humans, etc. The elements of Cinema write about the desolation of history and the warmth of human nature. In the heavy snow all over the sky, Chi Zijian’s beautiful and calm brushstrokes still maintain her unique softness and consideration even when showing the coldness and cruelty of the hostile environment. Whether it is wolf nature, human nature, death, or survival, they all maintain their immortal value in the genealogy of life.
The novel adopts the “narration from a distance” method, allowing the legend of his father to slowly unfold in the vision of “I”. It is the essence of modern novelsBabaylanGod, let such an old story of the Anti-Japanese United Nations shine a new literary glory.

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 isThe Mongolian people – the sheep are walking in the wind and snow, “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” carry the color of Internet youth Asian culture. The language style of the Internet clan and the long-lasting language like Mongolian tribes interact to form a 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 into cultural identity by the South China Chinese, but also a world-wide revelation and breakthrough of the incompleteness of the current Chinese literature.

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 the train from Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen.The shadows of the years on the station capture the clarity of the soul and the lost innocence of Xiaoqin in the center of 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. Komiks gradually became the ideal light of the novel, and also made 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” Cinema, although it is a little 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 inner self. 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. And what we want to know most is undoubtedly Komiks because of why he couldn’t extricate himself?
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”
Exclusive 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.
It is incredible that this short story, which is less than 10,000 words, writes the ups and downs of life grudges and irresistible human entanglements of a pair of twin sisters, full of destiny and tragedy.
The novel looks complete from the big picture, and the details are rich and vivid from the small picture. 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.
The story tells the story in the indifference, and the sadness and alienation are filled with concern. 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, the “CinemaI” 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 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 questioning 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 countless beautiful scenes in our hearts.h.com/”>Cinema and in the end, without exception, were smashed to pieces, but we were happy.
