Features: Li Shǎshǎ's maturity and confidence are built upon extensive reading of classic works. He writes in a more serious state. Whether in the choice of subject or the method of storytelling, he indeed transcends his age. This is rare and commendable. He possesses a distinct personal style, brimming with tension, mystery, and depth. The story remains under his skilled control throughout, flowing endlessly. The plot emerges, transforms, unfolds, and ultimately dissolves in the surging rhythm. His words are full of elasticity, always carrying an implied meaning. Readers have a strong sense of the "plot unfolding in an orderly manner," accompanied by an inexplicable anticipation. Perhaps this is the uniqueness of Li Shǎshǎ's novels and the source of their charm. Li Shǎshǎ's writing exudes a certain devilishness, yet it is not devoid of warm details. And it is precisely his heartfelt, effortless emotions and reflections that have moved countless readers with similar dispositions, earning him the media and critics' title of "Young Shen Congwen." He once said, "Broadly speaking, emotions encompass all aspects of human nature. Therefore, if the souls of various characters are lined up and compared, it becomes a very interesting endeavor. When projected onto literature, it is even more so." He enjoys placing human souls in his words, and after writing them, it seems as though he alone possesses them. This book tells the story of a teenager under 18 who undergoes a dual journey of spiritual and material wandering, as if it were an entire life. Due to skipping classes and breaking school windows, as well as fighting and idling about, he was ultimately expelled from school. After his expulsion, he had to maneuver with his parents, creating the illusion that he was still studying hard at school to get into university.
