Features: The mood expressed by single women, which can be seen as a new form of personalist private culture, is also a return to oneself. It is a single-woman culture that is just beginning to emerge in China. The ability of single women to keep their single rooms is also a war without gunfire. The author portrays it as a game for one person, vivid and flexible. She enacts dreams in her single room, upholding the glory of being a woman. That double bed is not just a stage for love stories but also a dreamlike realm of thoughts, feelings, experiences, and spiritual exchange. Her honesty is real, and the subtlety of her feelings is completely a personal exchange, a dialogue of the soul. The reader becomes the person she trusts at this moment. Like an open conversation in the quiet night. – Renowned critic Chen Xiaoming
"Everyone has scattered. Yet only this frail southern woman remains, wholeheartedly determined to cultivate a peach tree that belongs to me in this city of indifference. Now it seems I was fearless in my ignorance. Completely unaware of how deep or shallow the waters of the capital are, how strong or fierce the winds. With a third of youth, seven parts of effort, and two parts of luck, I have miraculously survived."
Lonely Peach Blossoms is the second work by author Qi A following her Single Room, Double Bed – A Raw Survival Chronicle of a Single Woman. With playful self-control and vivid descriptions, life here is about taste, existence is about atmosphere, and men and women are about art. She is honest and real. The subtlety and intricacy of her feelings are entirely a personal exchange, a dialogue of the soul. The reader becomes the person she trusts at this moment. Like an open conversation in the quiet night.
