Emma “Music Inn”
A Ideal Flower of Chivalrous
This is a novel with a novel narrative, integrating traditional martial arts stories with modern society Komiks 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” with the texture of life and pain in the city life, and is also the restless soul in our current social life.”Bystander”. The novel has a smooth and 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”Babaylan
Post-80s writers bring a new experienceCinema
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 tremble”, 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.
Cinema’s novel 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 Babaylan‘s inspiration channel for readers.

Chan Goodbye “Circus is Coming”
The Spiritual Living in Middle-aged in 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, but he has stretched his brushstrokes to his ageBabaylanfront. But this time, he used the situation of the young people he had good at in the past in the squeeze of material survival as a grid of specific backgrounds and details for the characters who grew up further, and in the livelihood of BabaylanBiography emerges, like a tenacious spider who also wants to look into the sky during the rainy season – “Circus is Coming” has a strange spirit, and we have obtained a good novel with “coming soon” as the driving force of time and space construction.
Not only that, the intertextuality between “circus” and people in the small town is another profound meaning in the novel. Can the imagined story really transcend specific life? It is originally about “not to be said”, what is the meaning of the novel trying to “speak”? The difference between the spirit of young people and the enthusiasm of middle-aged people is probably because middle-aged people begin to assume spiritual space and want to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that has existed.

Chi Zijian’s “Steamed Horse Boots”
The value of the life genealogy is immortal
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 “Steamed Horse Boots” is a bit of accumulating strength.
In the short space, Chi Zijian incorporates many elements such as history and reality, war and human nature, animals and humans, and writes 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 show the coldness of the hostile environmentBabaylan and cruelty still maintain her unique softness and consideration. Whether it is wolf nature, human nature, death, or survival, they all maintain 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 color adjustmentBan and Mongolian Narrative
Du Lan’s short story “The Amaihuo” first grasped me with a personality style of language. 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 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 a major turning point in history. This extreme juxtaposition reflects the insignificant coldness of his personal in front of the historical flood.
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, and Cinema to lead readers to whistle and whistle<a href="https://funThe train to Komiks will capture the broken shadows of the years from Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen Railway Station, and capture the spiritual light of Xiaoqins in the center of growth and the innocence of Cinema.
Deep in history and humanity, in the residential compound and the story space outside the capital, the sound of the train whistle turns into the sound of time in the novel, and runs 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. Komiks” 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, it found that this is indeed a novel with profound connotations, a novel that touches faith and inner world. The novel continues to Cinema reproduces the ups and downs and fluctuations that his father experienced in his life by jumping off a building. We also know his father’s bravery, righteousness, passion, stubbornness and frustration. The most memorable scene is the details of his notes.
Strip off the surface narrative, we see his father’s soul, and we also 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 Komiks, we can only speculate. And this is back to the first sentence of the novel.

Ye Zhaoyan “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.”
Incredible that this short story, which is less than 10,000 words, describes the ups and downs of life grudges and irresistible human entanglement of a pair of Komiks‘s twin sisters, and is full of destiny and tragedy.
The novel has a complete structure from the big picture, and the details are 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.
The story tells the story in calmness and affection in distantness. 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, 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 turned into simple carnal joy. The emotions between people are constantly alienating, but the calculation of each other’s interests has become a daily routine. They form a close isomorphic relationship with their hometown’s cold and mud-covered streets, which makes the return wanderers no longer find the 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 returnThe hometown always presets countless beautiful scenes in our hearts, and they will eventually be smashed without exception, but we are happy.
