Features: Notes on a Happy Land: A Happy Land has already become an abstract place, an imagined place. The Happy Land I describe is a real place, located in a certain area of my hometown in southern Jiangnan. Now, with the carpet-like advancement of China's industrialization, this pastoral Happy Land has long vanished. The Happy Land I record is not the one that truly existed in the past; the Happy Land I truly want to write about is the Happy Land of a generation, a generation's nostalgia for their spiritual homeland, not my personal Happy Land. Of course, this Happy Land has long been transformed and vanished. But it exists in the secret corners of everyone's hearts. If you don't seek it, propose it, or perhaps you will silently hide it in a corner of your heart for your entire life.
Notes on a Happy Land depicts a Happy Land set against the backdrop of China's transformative era of reform and opening up. It is divided into three stages: the mid-1980s, the late 1980s, and the late 1990s (end of the century), each telling a story of growth. The emotional revolves around teenage first love, teenage unrequited love, and young adulthood's heartbreak, describing three independent love stories that span the rise, decline, and despair of the Happy Land. At the same time, it infuses the instability of emotions into the understanding of the Happy Land, making its decline, in my view, not the disappearance of a place in Jiangnan that brought joy to teenagers, but rather a reflection of the degradation of Chinese people's understanding of their spiritual homeland in the present. The decay of the Happy Land serves as a specimen and to reveal the erosion of humanity's goodness in China's development process, where the beautiful dreams that remain in our hearts are suddenly deflated. The loss and numbness of the spiritual homeland are also heartbreaking.
Zero-Degree Dream: Through a dream, it weaves a realistic story about marriage, sexuality, betrayal, power, and the underprivileged. In the context of dreams and melancholy, it subtly reveals the absurd and ironic scenes of modern life, filled with implications, metaphors, and paradoxes.
Looking for Rain: A absurd art training class for the college entrance exam, a comically ridiculous appointment of a principal, a half-hid, half-revealed reflection of fading innocence, and a heartfelt confession from the narrator's inner world.
Camouflage Base: Misunderstandings between lovers lead to a half-life of suspense, involving framing, imprisonment, betrayal, lotteries, and devotion. When the truth is revealed and the game reaches its peak, the tragic flavors of life are fully presented, making death seem redundant.
