Features: On the banks of the River Thames in London, Big Ben, standing for a hundred years in Westminster Square, suddenly stopped without warning at 10:07 GMT on May 27, 2005. At this moment, Chunyu, studying abroad in the UK, and her lover Gao Xuan narrowly missed each other. She then witnessed Gao Xuan completely losing his memory and being involved in a car accident. At this moment, Chunyu was holding Gao Xuan tightly to avoid a speeding car but was herself shot down in the street during a bank robbery. At this moment, without the sound of a crash or the whizzing of bullets, Chunyu and Gao Xuan boarded the same subway car. Yet because they came from different times, even if they met face to face, they would ultimately be eternally separated. Three completely different destinies occurred in the same moment—the ancient Big Ben, with its (still), witnessed everything. When Chunyu survived her last brush with death, the "Hell and Heaven Revolving Door" was about to open, and the entire human race was facing the greatest crisis in the universe. Why did Chunyu meet the "fallen to death" Gao Xuan from "The 19th Floor of Hell" on the foreign streets? Why does the maze of the Albert family truly contain the "revolving door" from Borges' "The Garden of Forking Paths"? Why did Big Ben suddenly stop and then mysteriously resume working? The immense power of true love, in the light-speed rotation of the ultimate gate, changes time, transcends life and death, and also deconstructs and reshapes the soul of every individual. The Revolving Door starts from a shocking piece of real news, skillfully blending psychological suspense with science fiction. It also creatively embeds Borges' classic literary works into a three-dimensional unified "space," transforming them into the eternal theme of "love" in the fourth dimension of "time." This novel not only cites Einstein's theory of relativity and Hawking's theory of time black holes but also draws on the essence of traditional Chinese philosophy, especially Taoist views on the universe. It is an insightful and groundbreaking work in the "Cai Jun Psychological Suspense Novel" series.
