Features: My experience is that writing can constantly awaken memories. I believe such memories not only belong to me personally but may also represent an image of an era, or perhaps an imprint of a world deep within one person's heart—a scar that cannot be healed. The book includes three short novels by Yu Hua, representative works of Chinese avant-garde fiction. Accidental Event reveals the randomness and repetition of fate; The Death of a Landlord portrays a destiny leading to an irreversible path; and in Trembling, a poet who is toys with fate, helplessly expresses joy through a painful manner. These stories about fate are both realistic and introspective.
