Features: What is time? How does fate demonstrate its unpredictability? How does love bloom its beauty? — Deep Prison continues all the elements that made Hai Yan's previous novels bestsellers, portraying a young man who grows through hardship in this book. In it, the cruel reality and beautiful aspirations, the ugly crime and the absolutely beautiful love still coexist. The three women in the novel have completely different attitudes toward love, leaving one sigh in regret—love destroys love; love also creates love. Unlike his previous novels, Deep Prison breaks through Hai Yan's usual romantic and poetic style, strengthening the social realism atmosphere. In terms of both content and writing style, it is innovative. The latter half of the book is set in Beijing Tianhe Prison, based on real events within the prison system, meticulously depicting the physical and mental trials the protagonist undergoes in prison. The internal management mechanisms, reform levels of prisoners, daily life, and the humanistic management for prisoner reform provide readers with a brand-new perspective on prisons, offering unique social cognitive value. Step into Hai Yan's Deep Prison, meet a young man named Liu Chuan, and experience with him a mysterious and ever-changing fate, an unforgettable time, and a love that is irresistible. This time, Hai Yan gives you not only soft comfort and a heart-stirring impact but also a strong shock and different reflections. The storyline of this book mainly revolves around the daily management of the prison. The entire novel is divided into two parts: one is the story within the prison, and the other is the social life of the prison officers. Unlike his previous novels, the plot of this one is not driven by love and suspense but gradually appears in various life fragments, such as the "open struggle" among prisoners during the Spring Festival when some "excellent" prisoners are allowed to return home for a visit, etc. "In such extreme situations, the psychological portrayal of characters is very interesting," he says. Everyone is connected to the prison—Define Hai Yan New Work: Once again masterfully handling the genre of police stories, stepping into the world of "prisons," which is distant yet full of mystery to ordinary people. Get close to it, understand it, and a more eerie and unpredictable story slowly unfolds. What is time? How does fate demonstrate its unpredictability? How does love bloom its beauty? A mysterious and ever-changing time, a heart-wrenching fate, a love that tears the heart and soul. This time, Hai Yan gives you not only soft comfort and a heart-stirring impact but also an unexpected shock and different reflections. Hai Yan explains that he chose to write about prison-related themes because, in his eyes, almost everyone in society is connected to the prison in some way. For most readers, however, they do not understand the real prison, and prison officers are less known compared to criminal detectives. Therefore, this time he hopes to present a field that has rarely been touched before. Unlike the fictional locations used in his previous works, all the places and units in Hai Yan's new novel are real. "Although the storyline of the novel is fictional, it was shot using a documentary style," Hai Yan says. Due to his five years of work in prison before, to write this book, Hai Yan also experienced life in prison. In his view, most of the prison life depicted in previous TV dramas and literary works is not very realistic, and many have exaggerated the so-called "dramatic ups and downs" in prisons. In reality, for prison officers, life there can be described in just two words: "boring."
