Features: When I learned that the Chinese Writers' Association had held the first advanced study class for middle-aged and young writers at the Lu Xun Academy, especially that the participants were outstanding talents with strong potential and promising futures from various provinces, cities, and autonomous regions, I was genuinely delighted by this happy occasion in Chinese literature while also feeling a quiet stir and a strong desire to plan a project for our Mass Literature Publishing House. Unlike Hong Ke, Wang Song focuses on the human world and the mundane, and his mind seems to be filled with an endless stream of stories. The essence of stories lies in human actions and choices, so where there are stories, there is human freedom, even if it is tragic or absurd. A constant element in Wang Song's novels is how people resist their environment and how they dream and act in the impossible. The content of this book includes: The Solitary Tang Dan, The Fast Train on Saturday, The Quality of Life of Wang Yuejin, Anzi's Fists, Headaches and Fractured Rugs in the New Period, Continuation, The House That Soars, Yuzhu, Modern Women in the Homeland, Hazy, State Cadre Chen Tong, How Far Can You Go, and Failing and Sticking to One's Principles (as the Postscript).
