Features: The author has lived in a small city in Sichuan for half his life, dedicated to writing plays. His surname is Wei, but it cannot be simplified—it is half "wei" (to yield) and half "gui" (ghost). Destined to be tied to the ghost, he writes plays with a touch of ghostly cleverness, ghostly ideas, and ghostly fox Zen, always preferring to break conventions and explore uncharted territory. Occasionally, he makes guest appearances in the literary world, resulting in a unique style of "ghost stories" that stand out in both content and form. His ghost stories are always rooted in the mundane world, with a sharp eye on China's trials and tribulations, a hidden sense of responsibility and mission, and a mischievous curiosity about the value of humanity, the mysteries of the divine, the ups and downs of officials, and the joys and sorrows of the people. This book collects the author's ghost stories, all of which are essays with a biting style, worth reading.
