Features: The author has lived in seclusion in a small city in Sichuan for half his life, dedicating himself to writing plays. His surname is Wei, but it cannot be simplified—it consists of half "wei" () and half "gui" (). Destined to be tied to "gui," his plays often showcase a touch of "gui" intelligence, "gui" cleverness, and "gui" fox enlightenment, always preferring to break conventions and explore uncharted territory. Occasionally, he makes guest appearances in the literary world, resulting in works that are unique in both substance and form—his "gui" tales. Yet, his "gui" tales never stray far from the mundane world. His "gui" eyes focus on the disaster-ridden China, and his "gui" heart harbors a sense of responsibility and mission. His "gui" mind delves into 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 "gui" tales, all of which are essays, with a sharp and biting style, worth reading.
