Features: This is the author's short story collection, mainly including middle and short stories written by the author between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five (before going abroad). The promotional manager Chen Xi from the film company Real Life Cinema met Luo Jiawei, who worked at a record company, through the introduction of director He Xiaoxuan from a television station. Luo Jiawei originally studied finance in university and worked at the Bank of China after graduation, but he gave up his well-paying job to pursue his passion for music and joined this small record company. Luo Jiawei developed a liking for Chen Xi on their first meeting, but as they interacted more, they gradually discovered that the other was far more complex than they had imagined. The story's ending is that, perhaps in all the novels, these two coincidentally encountered people would fall into what is called love, but in this short story, they nd themselves merely crossing the traffic lights on the street and walking from one section of the road to another. And this is the real life we live.
Personal Life of a Female Writer: The literary woman Zhang Chunyan has always dreamed of becoming a writer but cannot tolerate how ordinary and common her real name is, so she changes it to Zhang Chunyan and begins to publish works one after another.

Non-Punk Era: Chen Xing got drunk one day and went to a hair salon to get a punk-style, bizarre haircut (with both sides of his head completely shaved, leaving only a straight, upright hair in the center, resembling a rooster's comb). Little did he know that this would bring him endless trouble, simply because he lived in a non-punk era.
My World, You Will Never Understand: This novel is somewhat similar to the "beautiful female writer" who writes with her "body," but its connotation is completely different from the body writing of such writers. "I" had sex with a man for the first time because I couldn’t bear the heavy academic pressure of senior high school. After entering university, "I" had relationships with multiple lovers like Feng, as my philosophy on love was hedonism and a game of love. Yet, such a woman who believed she could transcend everything nally fell in love with a vulgar white-collar who was impossible to love. Even "I" couldn’t understand myself. Although "I"’s world will never be understood by you, in reality, "I" also never understand "I"’s world. It mainly reflects the psychological conflicts and contradictions of young people today regarding love, sexuality, and other issues. …
