Features: This volume includes the novel The Pavilion of the Feng Bird and Liu Xinwu's representative works from his creative career, such as White Teeth and Xiao Dunzi. The Pavilion of the Feng Bird portrays the diverse characters of a metropolis with a profound humanistic spirit, including the mysterious wealthy woman, foreign-funded agent, ordinary citizens, retired workers, garbage king, massage girl, as well as figures from the entertainment and cultural circles, mid-to-high-level officials, private enterprise bosses, and foreign-born Chinese. Together, they create a vibrant and fantastical urban landscape. As the author said: "The 'Three Towers' series, consisting of The Bell and Drum Towers, The Four, and The Pavilion of the Feng Bird, forms a century-long narrative of Beijing, 'imbued with the complex emotions of joy and sorrow I feel toward this ancient city as it undergoes the process of modernization.'"
