Features: The Fourth Person tells a story of love through four chapters. The person who gave me life was the , the woman who gave me life was the second, and they both sought the third, leaving me as the fourth. This may be a mysterious grey group. How close are they to falling? How far are they from success? They cannot choose to be born, and in the corners of society, what kind of life do they live? They walk into shop windows to become underwear models or reside in foot baths enduring humiliation. Is it merely for survival? The novel takes us into this group that shakes the soul with a tragic beauty. Though they rarely bask in sunlight, though they are accustomed to indifference or disdain, and though some fall prematurely, many still struggle to complete their entire lives with a modest, unassuming green, fighting against fate and revealing both the good and evil of human nature, as well as the true and false of family bonds.
