Features: Wang Xiaobo is currently one of the most creative writers in China, hailed as China's Joyce and Kafka. He is also the only mainland Chinese writer to have won the prestigious "United Daily News Literature Award for Short Stories" twice in the world's Chinese-language literary circles. His literary creations are unique, rich in imagination and fantasy, yet not lacking in rationality. His words are transparent yet obscure, sincere yet cunning. The labyrinthine text can make you think of Borges; he circles around like a taxi driver, more taxi-driver-like than a taxi driver. In short, you can read infinite possibilities or impossibilities, infinite certainty or uncertainty.
The Complete Works of Wang Xiaobo is divided into ten volumes, collecting his important writings during his lifetime, with a significant portion being newly organized thoughts. The entire set is divided into essays, long novels, short novels, short stories, correspondence, and unfinished works, totaling approximately 2 million words. This book is the sixth volume, featuring five short novels originally included in The Golden Age: The Golden Age, At Thirty, The Flow of Time, Love in a Revolutionary Age, and My Yin and Yang World.
