Features: This is a bold experiment in literary style. "I" is a hybrid. "I"’s birth is a mystery. The many men in the cultural compound are suspects as "I"’s fathers. The relationship between the mother and them is even more of a puzzle. Under "I"’s gaze, the father suspects and their daughters reveal their true forms of soul and flesh. The relationship between "I" and the father suspects and their daughters is particularly captivating and poignant. The author "infiltrates" the soul of a young poet, observing and narrating through his eyes, meticulously portraying the complex emotions of a boy during his growth process—feeling both (humble) and (proud), both (yearning for recognition) and (everywhere rebellious), and even wanting to (replace). The girls he likes, on one hand, admire his talent and are drawn to his youthful aura, but on the other hand, they are still under the shadow of patriarchy. The language of the work is poetic, and the plot is bizarre.
