Features: This book is one of the "Selected Works of Ye Zhaoyan." As a representative figure of the avant-garde literary movement, Ye Zhaoyan's novels are more humanistic than eerie, unlike Su Tong's grand courtyard tales. However, this should not lead to a misinterpretation of Ye Zhaoyan. His works range from romantic tales to detective stories, from nostalgic revivals to modern trends, revealing that he is more than just a storyteller—he is an adept at depicting the complexities of the world. His profound historical knowledge and versatile talent allow him to effortlessly roam between narratives and philosophical reflections, sometimes dazzlingly flamboyant, other times calmly understated. He evokes the audience's emotions behind the scenes of history while leaving readers speechless in the face of reality. This collection features 12 of Ye Zhaoyan's representative short stories, including "Children's Songs" and other outstanding works.
