Features: The novel The Warmth of the Kitchen Knife tells a love story between the lead singer of a rock band and a producer. Zheng Jun said, "This story is not complicated but meaningful, with many details and words. The protagonist, Warm, his ex-girlfriend, Kitchen Knife, and the girl he newly meets, Jing, their love story is intertwined with his close friend, Qin Da, who is also a music producer. The novel explores the state of love and marriage, the life experiences of these few people over several years. Jing is completely devoted to Warm, willing to marry him and stay with him for life—according to Beijing slang, it’s a 'death grip.' If it’s summarized briefly, it’s a tragedy, where everyone is a tragedy, and several small tragedies form a larger tragedy." The story is inspired by Zheng Jun’s familiar life, and even the protagonist Warm shares the same blood type and zodiac sign as Zheng Jun. However, the content is not sensational gossip or a pretentious pose, but always maintains an honest, humble, and gentle perspective of an observer. The novel, with its compelling narrative, portrays the protagonist’s confusion and unease, largely representing the anxieties and uncertainties of those born in the 1970s.
