Features: Her face remained the pale white of something fermented in damp and darkness, but her expression now revealed her original beauty. Her original beauty appeared like a kind of pain on her slender neck, as she averted it while carefully lifting her head. Beneath her skin, deep within her frame, that snake-like softness and tenderness, the snake-like cold elegance and aloofness had returned. Every story Yan Geling tells about the Chinese is unique, complex, and deeply moving. The characters she portrays are so vivid, and she explores and depicts their circumstances through a new interpretation of ancient, gender relationships. Her works are expressed in poetic, meticulous language, revealing not only satire and absurdity but also, more intriguingly, the sensory world of human beings as revealed by Yan Geling in the harsh reality of artistic creation.
