Features: The Black Solitude is another masterpiece deeply loved by contemporary college students, following Yu Jie's Fire and Ice, Roaring in the Iron House, and Kong Qingdong's Room 207 on the 47th Floor. Yu Jie and Kong Qingdong have become idols in the hearts of a generation of students. Viewed horizontally, solemn; viewed vertically, absurd! This is a selected collection of Kong Qingdong's works, chosen from Empty Mountain, Mad Words, Flying from the Bottom of the Well, and Independent Han Qiu. It includes his life experiences and records from his two years living in South Korea, critiques of Jin Yong's novels, and some academic articles that, though serious in nature, are never dull in writing. Every selected article is brilliant. As Kong Qingdong himself said, the editor who selected the articles "was like Huang Shiren, not seizing the salted tofu, not asking about the two pounds of white flour, not looking at the two feet of red head, directly rushing to the flower-like and jade-like Xir..." Kong Qingdong's books are never verbose. Opening his books is like sitting at a table with a great swordsman, drinking large bowls of wine and eating meat with gusto, while listening to the great swordsman talk grandly and passionately about the past and the present, quickly becoming close friends.

Kong Qingdong quickly became an idol of the late 20th-century university campus with Room 207 on the 47th Floor, stubbornly resisting the temptation of vulgar celebrities towards college students with his profound knowledge and romantic, humorous writing style. The Black Solitude can pass the lonely hours in the dormitory and preserve many readers' beautiful memories of their student days.
