Features: This book collects the "Campus Series" recently published by young writer Zhang Zhe, with some chapters hailed as the "best novels of 2001." Compared to the complex and bustling city, the modern university campus is like a city's box seat and also like a real-life Grand View Garden. Setting aside a box or a garden in a lively place is to escape the city's noise and find temporary tranquility, while also to enjoy an alternative kind of self-pleasure within. Based on the backdrop of contemporary university campus life, this book portrays the impact of the complex modern urban landscape on college students and young intellectuals, as well as the resulting states of restlessness or calmness, confusion or transformation. The writing is elegant and fluent, filled with wisdom, and the plot is captivating. It occasionally offers thought-provoking insights and sometimes delivers an exhilarating experience.
