Emma “Komiks Mustard Inn”
A flower of chivalrous ideal
This is a novel with a novel narrative, integrating traditional martial arts stories with modern social lifeCinema, trying to reconstruct a transcendent chivalrous new world in the secular world. The strongest feeling when I first read this novel is that it is “fresh and lovely”. Xiao Wan, the owner of Mustard Inn, can be called an ideal flower full of chivalrous spirits blooming among secular sentient beings.
The novel fully establishes the character Xiao Wan in this cross-narrative between reality on the shore and the high shore. She is an “escaper” with a sense of life and pain in urban life, and is also a “bystander” of the restless and uneasy souls in our current social life. The novel has a ease of writing, a lofty style, and has “the beauty of literature and the truth of thought”, which ultimately points to the issue of human soul exile and placement.

Chen Chongzheng’s “Remembering the Power of Guanyin”
The post-80s writer brings a new experience
If the increasingly bizarre status quo has caused the heroine’s inner belief to collapse. When she wants to get rid of her “thrilling life”, she can only destroy herself in a simple and cruel way.
Survival state is a text The creative themes learned by Komiks are never easy, but it is precisely because of the irreplaceable nature of a good work that this theme has become the goal of writers’ pursuit and competition.
Chen Chongzheng’s novel brings us surprises, with his unique imagination and pioneering narrative style, href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan and through in-depth thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…”, real life was disassembled and reassembled, opening up a channel of inspiration for readers.

Chan Goodbye “Circus is Coming”
The spiritual room for middle-aged people in a small town
The young Chen Goodbye is well-known in the literary world for a series of “county town novels”.
He is still a young man at present, but he has extended his brushstrokes to the front of his age. But this time, he used the situation of the young man he was good at in the past in the squeeze of material survival as a grid of specific backgrounds and details for the characters who grew up further, and emerged from his livelihood, just like a tenacious spider who also looked at the sky during the rainy season – “Circus is Coming” so strange was revealed. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Cinema‘s spirit, we get a good novel with “coming soon” as the driving force of time and space construction.
Not only that, the intertextuality between “circus” and people in small towns,It is another profound meaning in the novel. Can the imagined story really be more specific than the Komiks life? The fact that there is originally something that needs to be “not to be said” is what is the meaning of the novel trying to “speak”? The difference between the spirit of young people and the enthusiasm of running around is probably because of the Chinese New Year’sBabaylan‘s assumption of spiritual room and want to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that was once.

Chi Zijian’s “Steamed Horse Boots”
Immortal value in the life line
As an outstanding writer who has been in the literary world for many years, Chi Zijian seems to have few short stories in recent years. The short story “Stewed Horse Boots” has a bit of a deep and profound meaning.
In a short time, Chi Zijian incorporated many elements such as history and reality, war and human nature, animals and human beings, and wrote the desolation of history and the warmth of human nature. In the heavy snow all over the sky, Chi Zijian’s graceful and calm brushstrokes showed the coldness and cruelty of the hostile environment, Babaylan still maintained her unique softness and considerateness. Whether it is wolf nature, human nature, death, or survival, they all maintain immortal value in the genealogy of life.
The novel adopts the “narration from a distance” method to allow the legend of the father to slowly unfold in the vision of “I”. It is the spirit of modern novels that makes the old anti-Japanese United Nations story like Komiks shine with new literary brilliance.

Du Lan’s “Mihuo”
Cultural color adjustmentBan and Mongolian Narrative
Du Lan’s short story “The Amaihuo” first grasped me with a personality style of language. There is no doubt that she belongs to the Mongolian people – the sheep are walking in the wind and snow, and the “Ga Le-Ga Le-” is earth-shaking. However, the author was born in 1999, which made me connect the language of my work with the Internet. Discourses like “Youth is keen on games” are full of the color of the Internet youth subculture. The language style of the Internet clan and the long-lasting language like Mongolian tribes interact to form a slightly dazzling, uncomfortable but full of personality.
The work is premiering with fables. A baby appeared in the belly of the sheep, a paradoxical and weird sign of ominous sign, so the “prairie faded” and the world suddenly changed; “I was shocked…” A series of mysterious and strange suspense symbols emerged in the middle of the real world. The indescribable symbols and pictures constitute the charming allegorical characteristics of the work.

Huang Jinshu’s “Late Youth”
The Elegy of Desiring Change
Huang Jinshu’s narrative has wild imagination and distinct style, stirring up the mystery and vastness of the waves in the South China Sea. His short story “The Young People Late to Komiks” combines time, history, memory and identity, which is thought-provoking.
Although the mysterious young man has the ability to curb the flow of time, he still cannot catch up with the time threshold of the great turning point in history. This extreme juxtaposition reflects the insignificant lonely coldness of his individual in the face of the torrent of history.
BabaylanMagic is both an unfulfilled hope and an elegy for a desire to change, presenting us with a strange fable of modernity. The late youth, that is, the unfinished youth, is not only an inquiry of cultural identity by the Chinese in Southeast Asia, but also a revelation and breakthrough of the incompleteness of modern Chinese literature worldwide.

Would rather “Train”
Shadows the Shadows of the Years The Voice of Time
Thinkers would ratherCinema is good at literary exploration. The novel uses the wildness of the former teenagers to lead readers on the whistling train, and captures the broken shadows of the years from Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen Railway Station, and captures the spiritual clarity and lost innocence of Xiaoqins in the center of growth.
Deep in history and humanity, in the residential compound and the story space outside the capital, the sound of the train whistle turns into the sound of time of the novel, and runs towards the youth with a bang, gradually becoming the ideal light of the novel, and also creating the author’s new historical narrative.
The narrative of the works is concise and spiritual, resolute and rhythmic; the novel is rough and warm, desolate and clear.

Shao Li’s “Father on the Rooftop”
Speculation why he couldn’t extricate himself
“Maybe I changed my faith after leaving that city. “This is the first sentence of the novel “The Father on the Rooftop”. It is precisely because of this sentence that I value this novel. Especially the word “faith”, although slightly abrupt and introductory, it implies some differences in this work.
After reading, it was found that this was indeed a novel with profound connotation, a novel that touched the world of faith and inner world. The novel constantly reproduced the ups and downs and fluctuations of the father who committed suicide by jumping off the building and committing suicide in his life. We also learned about the bravery, righteousness, passion, stubbornness and frustration of his father. The most unforgettable scene is the details of his notes.
Stripping off the surface narrative, we have a glimpse of the father’s soul, and we also know that he is or has encountered a spiritual crisis. What we want to know most is undoubtedly what he can’t extricate himself?
So, we KomiksDo you know? No, we can only speculate. And this is back to the first sentence of the novel.

Ye Zhaoyan “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”
>Exclusive artistic dialectics
Ye Zhaoyan beautifully completed a well-prepared artistic fight with “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”, and it was also a challenging writing adventure, that is, he wanted to write a short novel “completely different from others”.
Incredible that this short story, which is less than 10,000 words, writes the ups and downs of life grudges and irresistible human entanglements of a pair of twin sisters, full of destiny and tragedy.
The novel has a complete structure from the big picture, and the details are rich and vivid. The characters have a fullness that is about to emerge. It not only greatly expands the artistic space of short stories that reflects history and reality, but also deeply conveys the tremor, despair and helplessness deep in the characters’ souls.
The story tells the story contains sadness in indifference and concern in alienation. The artistic dialectics of small and big, light and heavy unique to short stories can be realized.

Zhang Huiwen’s “Angel”
Find inner comfort
” Angel” is a delicate work full of sentimental feelings. Around my father’s funeral, the “I” who returned from a foreign land, with a desire to find the warmth of happy growth and blood ties, and tried to relive the love with the “angel” in the hearts of the boy’s era.
However, when he walked through this once familiar “small place”, he found that all the comforts turned into hard, profit-oriented reality, and all the admiration and longing turned into simple carnal joy. The emotions between people are constantly alienating, but the calculation of each other’s interests has become a daily routine. They form a close isomorphic relationship with the cold and mud-covered streets of their hometown, so that the returning wanderers can no longer find inner comfort.
If we think that “Angel” is a simple nostalgic work that conveys the author’s questioning the utilitarian reality of Chinese society, it seems that it is not bad. But I prefer to regard it as a fable, because we return every time we redirect BabaylanThe hometown always presets countless beautiful scenes in our hearts, and they will eventually be smashed without exception, but we are happy.
