Features: Cheng Chan, her writing possesses both a woman's sensitivity, sharpness, and insight, yet also a slightly rigid melancholy and clarity. Her words are sorrowful but not mournful, elegant yet free of any trace of makeup. This book collects 78 of her beautiful essays, divided into nine sections: Poetic History, Life, University Series, Beijing Seasons, Imagined Love, Love and Dust, Gossip Ten Minutes, Martial Arts, and On the Road. These short stories are beautiful yet melancholic, blooming like hardy flowers from the light and composed words.
