Features: Sun Huifen's anxiety is temporal; every instant is like a swamp, as if she is sinking, but another interpretation is that she preserves every moment, allowing time to occupy space and become a full, ripe fruit. This effort reminds me of Proust, whom I consider someone who hates time, yet loves it. Sun Huifen patiently depicts the spiritual essence in the mundane aspects of life. She wants readers to find a spiritual element in these ordinary characters and everyday life. For a novelist, it is the capture and vivid portrayal of life's details and character speech, as well as the logical unfolding of plot. Without this, all thoughts about beauty become paralyzed. Sun Huifen's maturity is reflected in these aspects, and we can no longer ignore her presence. This book is a collection of fiction masterpieces by female writer Sun Huifen, including stories such as Migrant Workers, Two Women in Xiema Mountain Village, Two Men in Xiema Mountain Village, and Dragonflies by the Shore. Among them, Migrant Workers has been adapted into a television series directed by Kang Honglei and Zhang Jizhong, which will soon air on CCTV Channel 1; while Two Women in Xiema Mountain Village won the Third Lu Xun Literature Prize.
