Features: This book is the third novel in Shi Kang, a young writer's trilogy "Youth Trilogy." The author demonstrates in this book his inner desire for real life, as well as the anxiety that arises from this desire in the depths of emotional life, gradually growing within himself. The novel portrays the relationship between "me" and a young dancer named "Zongzong" from acquaintance to love, from love to constant mutual harm, from the initial inexplicable pleasure brought by mutual harm, to the eventual indelible sorrow left in the heart due to this harm. It addresses the author's contemplation—that true love will ultimately become something "utterly chaotic."
