Features: Liu Xinglong, male, born in 1956, native of Huanggang, Hubei. After graduating from high school, he worked as a water conservancy construction worker and a lathe operator. He began publishing works in 1984 and has written five short story collections, including The Phoenix Piano. He has published four novels: Magnificent, Boundless Love, Life is Labor and Kindness, and Heavenly Fury. Some of his works have won multiple awards, including the 8th Chongwen Literature Award. Some of his novels have been adapted into films and TV dramas, and some of his works have been translated into foreign languages and introduced abroad. This book selects four of his classic works. This book is part of the "Representative Works of Contemporary Masters," which includes selected works of six "literary pillars": Shi Tiesheng, Su Tong, Wang Anyi, Can Xue, Liu Xinglong, and Zhang Xin. These six writers have been devoted to literature since the 1980s, and in their eyes, literature is a life-affirming pursuit worth dedicating a lifetime to. If creative time is also a form of life, then those who have been engaged in writing for over twenty years can be considered middle-aged. They are no longer young avant-garde figures who appear suddenly, shocking the world; they are not literary giants who wield influence and uphold tradition; nor are they newcomers who act recklessly to attract attention or flirtatiously to promote themselves. They have already established their own creative resumes and reputations, developed fixed literary perspectives and market channels, and formed unique writing styles with personal. Let us glimpse their literary creative trajectories through their works. Liu Xinglong, male, born in 1956, native of Huanggang, Hubei.
