Features: This book is a selected collection of Lu Yin's love stories, featuring her representative works from various periods, particularly her later urban romance novels, which are largely included here. Lu Yin's novels were deeply loved by young intellectuals and lovers in her time, earning their admiration, evoking their sympathy, and inspiring their reflection. Today, can they still resonate with urban intellectuals and lovers? The answer is undoubtedly affirmative. At the beginning of China's vernacular literary movement, Lu Yin was a celebrated literary talent alongside Bing Xin and Shi Pingmei. Amidst an atmosphere of bourgeois sentimentality and a prevalence of lavish, ornate literary styles, she surpassed her era, creating a unique and distinctive writing style. Mao Dun once remarked, "Reading Lu Yin's complete works is like breathing the air of the May Fourth Movement anew. We see passionate yet idealistic young people in the book wandering in frustration in their pursuit of life's meaning, and we see young people burdened by centuries of traditional ideological constraints, shouting for 'self-development' in the book." This book includes several of Lu Yin's love stories, such as The Suffering of a Man, Li Shi's Diary, Manli, Old Friends by the Sea, and Ivory Ring.
