Features: It seems that after the millennium, we have entered a truly flourishing era. The complexity and drama of this age are presented in Flower, Flower, like the blooming of flowers. Qiu Huadong's Flower, Flower is a typical middle-class novel. It is exceptionally sensitive in depicting the daily life experiences of the rapidly rising new middle class in China. With a fine brushstroke, it portrays various aspects of urban daily life in China, highlighting the unique state of the Chinese middle-class culture, as well as its contradictions and dilemmas. For Qiu Huadong, the daily life of Beijing has become a true life of consumption. – Zhang Yiwu
The characters in Qiu Huadong's works do not necessarily live at the forefront of the city; they more often live authentically in the city, experiencing all its realities. Of course, they also face the joys and anxieties, hopes and despair that most people encounter. I think, such writing has a more honest face. Especially in his long new work Flower, Flower, the actual situations are the urban love and marriage stories that we are all too familiar with, but when we go beyond the traditional narrative surface, we can still see Qiu Huadong's effort in writing, which is actually aimed at exploring the inner dilemmas of modern people.
