Features: Su Tong is an important writer of the New Period literature in China. Since the 1980s, he has published a large number of long, medium, and short stories. Many literary trends of the New Period in China are associated with this young "old" writer. For example, avant-garde fiction, the cinematic approach to storytelling, and new historical fiction, among others. This book collects some of his representative works. His novels mostly exhibit an elegant, gentle yet melancholic and cold style, with beautiful imagery beneath it lies the scent of death and unsettling conspiracies. It can be seen as a sample of all of Su Tong's novels. This is the secret of Su Tong's works—a beautiful dance that brings misfortune, like a witch.
