Emma “Must SeedsKomiksInn”
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 transcendent chivalrous new world 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 Cinema, can be regarded as an ideal flower full of chivalrous spirits blooming among secular sentient beings.
The novel is a cross-narrative between the reality of the shore and the shore of Komiks, and the image of Xiao Wan is completely established. 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 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.

ChenCinema Chongzheng’s “Remembering the Power of Guanyin”
A new experience for writers born in the 1980s
If the increasingly bizarre status quo has caused the heroine’s inner belief to collapse. When she wants to get rid of her “thrilling life”, 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 plays an irreplaceable role that this theme is madeBabaylan has become the goal of writers to pursue and compete.
This novel by Chen Chongzheng brought us a surprise. He disassembled and reassembled real life with his unique imagination and pioneering narrative methods, and through in-depth thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…”, opening up a channel of inspiration for readers.

Chan Goodbye “Circus is Coming”
The spiritual room for middle-aged people 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, but he has extended his brushstrokes to the front of his age. This time, he regards the feelings of the young man who was good at in the squeeze of material survival as the specific background and details of the person who grew up further. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan‘s festival grid, which emerges from the livelihood, is like a tenacious spider who also looks into the sky during the rainy season – “Circus is Coming”, so Komiks 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 smallAnother profound meaning in the statement. 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”? 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 room and want to use this to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that they once had.

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 the long space of Cinema, Chi Zijian incorporates many elements such as history and reality, war and human nature, animals and humanity, and writes about 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 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. BabaylanNo doubt she belongs to the Mongolian people—the sheep are walking in the wind and snow, “CinemaGa 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 like Internet youth.The color of subculture in s://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks. The language style of the Internet clan and the long-lasting language of the Mongolian tribe interact to form a language style that is slightly dazzling, uncomfortable but full of personality.
The work is preceded by allegorical colors. 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 shockedBabaylan…” A series of mysterious and strange suspense symbols emerged in the middle of the real world. The symbols and pictures that cannot be explained and cannot be explained clearly 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 “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 threshold of the great turning point in history. This extreme juxtaposition reflects the insignificance of the individual in front of the torrent of history.
Magic is both an unrealized hope and an elegy of desiring change, presenting us a strange fable of modernity. Late youth, that is, an unfinished youth, is not just an inquiry of cultural identity among Chinese in the South China Sea. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Cinema is also a world-wide revelation and breakthrough in the incompleteness of modern Chinese literature.

North of “Train”
The Shadow of the Year The Voice of Time
The Thinker Ning Babaylan is willing to be good at literary exploration. Komiks‘s novel uses the wildness of the former teenagers to lead readers to take the whistling train and capture Beijing togetherBabaylanThe broken shadows of the years from Liulichang to Yongdingmen Railway Station capture the clarity and lost innocence of Xiaoqins in the center of growth.
Deep in 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; href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks‘s 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 it is a little abrupt and Cinema, it implies some differences in this work.
After reading it, it found that this is indeed a novel with profound connotations. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan is a novel that touches the faith and inner world. The novel constantly reproduces the ups and downs and fluctuations that the father who committed suicide after jumping off a building and committing suicide in his life. We also know the bravery, righteousness, passion, stubbornness and frustration of his father. The most unforgettable scene is the details of his notes.
Put off the surface narrative, we see the 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, we can only guess. 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 very 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 details are rich and vivid, and the characters have <a The fullness that is about to emerge is not only greatly expanded the artistic space of short stories that reflects history and reality, but also deeply conveys the tremor, despair and helplessness deep in the soul of the characters.
The story is told indifferently, and the concern is revealed in the distant state. The artistic dialectics of small and large, light and heavy, which are unique to short stories can be realized.

Zhang Huiwen’s “Angel”
Search for inner comfort
” Angel” is a delicate work full of sentimental feelings. Around my father’s funeral, the “I” who returned from a foreign land, with a desire to find the warmth of happy growth and blood ties, try Komiks‘s love with the “angel” in his youth.
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, and the calculation of interests between each other becomes a daily routine. They form a close isomorphic relationship with the cold and mud-covered streets of their hometown, so that the return wanderers can no longer find inner comfort.
If we think “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, we will return.The hometown always presets countless beautiful scenes in our hearts, and they will eventually be smashed without exception, but we are happy.
