Features: The author secluded himself in a small city in Sichuan for half his life, dedicated to writing plays. His surname is Wei, but it cannot be simplified—it's half "wei" (to yield) and half "gui" (ghost). Destined to be tied to the ghost, he writes plays with a touch of ghostly cleverness, ghostly ideas, and ghostly fox Zen, always deviating from the norm, breaking through boundaries, and exploring the unknown. Occasionally, he makes guest appearances in the literary world, resulting in a unique style of "ghostly tales" that stand out in both content and form. His ghostly tales are always rooted in the mortal world, with a ghostly eye fixed on China's trials and tribulations, a ghostly sense of responsibility and mission, and a ghostly mind pondering the value of humanity, the mysteries of the divine, the ups and downs of officials, and the joys and sorrows of the people. This book collects the author's ghostly tales, all essays, with a sharp and worth-reading style.
