Features: Hai Nan's earlier works, "Women's Chronicle" and "Men's Chronicle," had a significant impact. Many considered them unhealthy pornography, while others called them poetic philosophical reflections. Whatever the extreme debates, they ultimately led to the books becoming bestsellers. Perhaps it was precisely because they started selling well that this female writer continued writing. This book, "Body Chronicle," still revolves around the narrative of "you, you, you," with a form identical to the previous ones, and the content feels familiar. So, if "Women's Chronicle" still had some innovation, by this point, it's just inertia. However, most of the illustrations in the book are of women's bodies, with only a few of men's, all of which are covered. It makes one feel that the book should be renamed "Women's Body Chronicle."
