Features: (Winner of the QQ Writer Cup Essay Competition, Highly Recommended by Wang Meng, Wang Anyi, and Cao Wenxuan!) First of all, it's a novel. This novella can be divided into two parts. The first part is realistic, with the main storyline being a gathering of three free-spirited young people—a man, a woman, and Mei. They debate, play, and constantly provoke and observe each other. The man and woman seem to be the ones being led, always reacting to the various stimuli initiated by Mei. In reality, they are more like organizers, stimulating Mei's desire to observe in different ways. The author's strong urge to express leads to some details becoming overly verbose, but it also makes the sentences very colloquial and full of life. With a slightly rebellious yet solid writing style, the plot progresses rapidly, making it an easy and engaging read that's hard to put down once you start. A very talented novel. — Li Xunhuan
This should be a novel that appeals to the trendy youth of today: the scenes, characters, language, and thoughts can all be summed up in two words—fashion. It's a novel that allows young readers to compare themselves. — Jiugua
I really like this work. Perhaps because I am a woman, the female characteristics expressed in the work are very authentic, and the use of language is also very skilled. — Danhua
Is the theme of life about the limited pursuit or the eternal testament? Does love stem from appreciation for the other or the search for oneself? Which is the cause and effect of desire—stimulation or satisfaction? Is the definition of existence based on oneself or the surroundings? Is our faith a replaceable refuge or just a misunderstanding? Very Abnormal presents these reflections from an unimaginable perspective and unique insight.
