Features: Li Xinping cannot live in the world of ideas or indulge in sensory pleasures. He wants to be a true man. His inner purity and kindness, originating from within, gradually crumble in the evolving love, marriage, and relationships with Xiaoxiao, Zijuan, Shasha, and Yawen. I must face every woman in my life.
Author: I believe that true understanding of the world begins with self-awareness. We are accustomed to easily commenting on the world, even pointing fingers, yet we often neglect the complex and mysterious depths of our own inner world. Perhaps, before hearing the lonely cries of the soul in the darkness, all our self-assured understanding of the world is nothing more than a lie to ourselves. Self-awareness is always the necessary path to understanding the world. Writing is the beginning of my self-reflection and self-discovery. In this long and painful process, I cannot escape the confrontation with every woman in my life. They are like streetlights, illuminating every dark journey in my life. Women are mirrors of men's souls. I always see a more authentic and complete version of myself in them. Without them, my memories and reflections would plunge into boundless darkness. Therefore, I must write about every woman who has left different landscapes in my life. Only in this way can I touch the most sensitive ends of my nerves, and only then can I glimpse the hidden heartbeat of the world in the stillness of the night.
