Features: This book is one of the "Overseas Mainland Writers Series." The "dual marginalization" of the Overseas Mainland Writers group towards Chinese cultural reality creates a strong tension. The struggle between attraction and repulsion provides these writers with a necessary distance to examine Chinese human nature. Guo Xiaoyang's Border Fortress series, Zhang Xinxin's Dancing, Jian Ni's Mandolin, and Zha Jianying's Waterbed are all excellent examples of exploring the subtleties of human nature.
