Features: After the publication of the adolescent novel Blades and Blades, local writer He Dacao "re-enters the literary world" with another long novel depicting adolescent growth, My Left Face. According to He Dacao, the novel inherits the creative style and thematic content of Blades and Blades, still portraying the confusion and bewilderment of adolescent growth. The consecutive creation of adolescent-themed novels—does he intend to transition from heavy historical themes? He Dacao says that every novel he writes has a sense of history, and the subject matter does not represent anything. My Left Face is actually the sunny side of the sun. The dark side of the sun is two knives, blood humans like swords, more painful than heartache; the sunny side is a pair of big feet, walking like the wind, lighter than flying. I think this is one of the heartwarming works by He Dacao. When I read it, I felt that time and words had a heart rhythm with warmth. This is the charm of youth, and also the reward He Dacao deserves after mastering the secrets of the novel. It is a book with secrets: the pain of growth and a face turned away. It is also a novel about memories. Youth in memories is never not romantic. But romance has a price, which is trembling, fear, and heart-wrenching pain: the cruel poem of youth's true nature is a cluster of gorgeous flowers of evil.
