Features: "The river moans, family and national responsibility sweep away love and hate; the setting sun is blood-red, the young and talented drinks up the twists and turns of the journey." The title is derived from these two lines of poetry. Haiyan's new work continues his strong narrative structure and the intertwined fates of his characters, which are hallmarks of his style, while also introducing many new twists. It is a work that carries the imprint of Haiyan's past yet is clearly different from his previous works. The strong suspense, intense emotions, and the bizarre and varied aspects of contemporary urban life will captivate readers.
Lu Baoliang loved a girl for the first time in the grand hall of the Jianshi City Public Security Academy. The academy had invited the city's acrobatic troupe to perform. Baoliang sat on a small stool at the side of the stage, able to see the entire performance clearly. This was Baoliang's first time watching live acrobatics. The most memorable part of the show was a black-clad young woman. Her face was beautiful, and she possessed extraordinary abilities. With her bright red, dripping lips, she could also spray blazing flames from her mouth, leaving Baoliang both exhilarated and deeply moved. That day, Baoliang couldn't sleep all night for the first time because of a woman.
