Features: Beijing writer Shi Kang, once brought to life contemporary Beijing youth through his "Youth Trilogy," achieving over 100,000 sets in sales. Shi Kang's novels are known as "NO novels," as reading his works feels like reading his life story—without exaggeration or pretense, only the authentic face of youth. His new works vividly depict the bourgeoisie and the conflict between love and money in women's hearts, captivating and moving. In early 2000, I met Yuan Xiaochen. In Beijing in winter, in public places, under the gloomy, dense fog that the northwest wind couldn't move, our relationship was simple and clean, like that of primitive humans—it was a highly pure sexual relationship. In fact, it was difficult to establish any other kind of relationship in the small, soft space of the bed and the quilt. That kind of relationship didn't make people remember anything, but rather, the opposite—it suspended all worries and fears, hopes and frustrations. However, the life suspended by desire was short-lived.
