Features: In this new work, one can still see his effort to make changes. The over-familiar and often empty spoken language is replaced by carefully considered and precise written language. More emphasis is placed on narrative and psychological control. Characters are placed in their environment, with few or almost no exaggerated display or vague ridicule that jumps out of the plot. In other words, he wants the work to speak instead of the author. Clearly, he also intends to transcend himself and avoid pleasing the world with an old image. The idea is there, but how much of it is achieved is left for the readers to judge. In the "Preface" of this book, the author states that the original intention of this book is to trace back the essence of his past works and personal life.
