Features: "Ye Zhaoyan's creative themes are not limited to one style, but his most dazzling works are undoubtedly the Nanjing Afloat series. These four novellas span from the late Qing Dynasty to the 1940s, depicting the legendary comedies in the lives of ordinary families in Nanjing, as well as the erotic conflicts behind the gentry. Ye writes with a style that mimics the Yuanyang Huadiao (Swallow and Butterfly) school, capturing every detail perfectly. His works are not without a worldly and cautionary wisdom, which allows him to see beyond tears and sorrow."
