Features: The writer Shujuan, who is deeply loved yet unloved, is a rare and endangered spirit in today's world. Her worldview has led to the aloof and detached tone of her works. This has resulted in Red Dust Fragrance making another incisive intrusion into the world. In the face of a and enigmatic war and history, Shujuan offers a complex and intricate interpretation. The extraordinary life of female spy Chen Jiayi leaves us both astonished and refreshed, reminding us of Nietzsche's words: "The higher philosopher lives alone, not because he wishes to be lonely, but because he finds no equals around him." To admire a work is to admire its uniqueness. "Puling Flower" is the flower of Shujuan. There is no such flower in this world. She has especially allowed the Puling Flower to bloom in her consciousness, knowing that we would question it. Thus, from daring to name a flower to naming this novel Red Dust Fragrance, she creates a distance from the chaos of the mortal world. Her world is unknown to us, while our world is laid bare before her.
