Features: The Black Solitude is another masterpiece deeply loved by contemporary college students, following Yu Jie's Fire and Ice, Roaring in the Iron House, and Kong Qingdong's Room 207 on the 47th Floor. Yu Jie and Kong Qingdong have become idols in the hearts of a generation of college students. Viewed horizontally, solemn; viewed vertically, absurd! This is a selected collection of Kong Qingdong's works, chosen from Empty Mountain, Mad Words, Flying from the Well, and Independent Hanqiu. It includes his life experiences and records during his two years living in South Korea, critiques of Jin Yong's novels, and some academic articles that may seem serious but are never dull in writing. Every selected article is brilliant. As Kong Qingdong himself said, the editor who selected the articles "is like Huang Shiren (bursting into Yang Baolao's house), not seizing the salted tofu, not asking about the two pounds of white flour, nor looking at the two feet of red head, but rushing straight to the flower-like and jade-like Xir!" Kong Qingdong's books are never verbose. Opening his books is like sitting at a table with a great swordsman, drinking large bowls of wine and eating meat with gusto, while listening to the great swordsman talk grandly and passionately about the past and the present, quickly becoming close friends.
