Emma “Music Inn”
A Ideal Flower of Chivalrous
This is a novel with a novel narrative, blending traditional martial arts stories with modern societyKomiks life, 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 in the face of secular beings.
The novel fully establishes the character Xiao Wan in this cross-narrative of the reality of the shore and the shore of the shore. She is a “escapist” who has 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 “KomiksRemembering the power of Guanyin”
Post-80s writers bring a new experience
If the increasingly bizarre situation has put the heroine’s inner beliefs in the faceCinema collapsed. When she wanted to get rid of her “thrilling life”, she could only destroy herself in a simple and cruel way.
Survival state, as the creative theme of literature, is never easy, but it is precisely because the transcendent cognitive and guiding role played by a good work that makes this theme the goal of writers’ pursuit and competition.
This novel by Chen Chongzheng brought us surprises. He used his unique imagination and pioneering narrative methods, as well as the depth of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…” href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema thinks, dismantling and reassembling real life, 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 Babaylan regarded the situation of the young man he used to be in the squeeze of material survival as a further growth. The specific background and details grid of the characters of Komiks emerges from their livelihood, like a tenacious spider who also wants to look into the sky during the rainy season – “Circus is Coming” has a strange spirit, and we have obtained a good novel with “coming” as the driving force of time and space construction.
Not only that, the intertextuality between “circus” and people in the small town is another profound meaning in the novel. Can the imagined story really transcend specific life? It is originally necessary to be “not to be said”, what is the meaning of the novel trying to “speak”? The difference with the spirit of young people is probably because middle-aged people begin to assume spiritual room, andI want to use this to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that I once had.

ChiCinema 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 still maintain her unique softness and considerate even though she shows the coldness and cruelty in a hostile environment. Whether it is wolf nature, human nature, death, or survival, they all maintain immortal value in the genealogy of life.
The novel adopts the Babaylan‘s “narration from a distance” method, allowing the legend of his father to slowly unfold in the vision of “I”. It is the spirit of modern novels that makes such old stories of the Anti-Japanese United Nations shine with new literary brilliance.

Du Lan’s “Mihuo”
Cultural Palette and Mongolian Narrative
Du Lan’s short story “Mihuo” first grasped me with a personality style. 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 1999Cinema, which made me connect the language of my work with the Internet. Discourses like “Youths are 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 of the Mongolian tribe interact to form a slightly stunning language style that is uncomfortable but full of personality.
The work is premiering with fables. A baby appeared in the ram’s belly, a paradoxical and weird ominous sign, so the “prairie faded” and the world suddenly changed; “I was shocked…”A series of mysterious monstersBabaylan‘s alien suspense symbols emerge in the middle of the real world. The indescribable symbols and pictures are indescribable, forming the charming allegorical characteristics of the work.

BabaylanHuang Jinshu’s “Late Youth”
The Elegy of Desiring Change
Huang CinemaJinshu’s narrative has wild imagination and distinctive style, stirring up the mystery and vastness of the waves in the South China Sea. His short story “Late Youth” combines time, history, memory and identity, which is thought-provoking.
The mysterious <a Although young people have the ability to curb the flow of time, they still cannot catch up with the threshold of time of the great turning point in history. This extreme juxtaposition reflects the insignificant lonely coldness of individuals in the face of the torrent of history.
Magic is both an unrealized hope and an elegy for a desire to change, presenting us a unique fable of modernity. Late young people, that is, unfinished youth, are 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.

North of “Train”
The Shadow of the Years The Voice of Time
The Thinker would rather be Komiks are good at literary exploration. The novel uses the wildness of the former teenagers to lead readers on the whistling train, and together captures the shadow of the years from Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen Railway Station, and captures the clarity of the soul of Xiaoqins in the center of their growth and the lost innocence of their childhood.
In history and peopleDeep in the sex, in the residential compound and the story space outside the capital, the sound of the train whistle turned into the sound of time in the novel. It ran 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 RooftopCinema“
Speculation about why he couldn’t extricate himself
“Maybe he left that cityKomiks, I changed my faith. “This is the first Babaylan‘s 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, I found that this is indeed a novel with profound connotation, a novel that touches the world of faith and inner self. The novel constantly reproduces the ups and downs and fluctuations experienced by his father who committed suicide by jumping off a building. We have also learned about the bravery, righteousness, passion, stubbornness and frustration of his father. The most memorable scene is the details of his notes.
Stripping the surface narrative, we have a glimpse of the father’s soul and knowing that he is or has encountered a spiritual crisis. What we want to know most is undoubtedly why he can’t extricate himself?
So, do we know? No, we can only speculate. And this returns to the first sentence of the novel.

Ye Zhaoyan’s “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”, which is also a very picky one.A warlike writing adventure is that he wants to write short stories that are “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 my heart in my youth.
However, when he walked through this once familiar “small place”, he found that all comfort became a hard, profit-oriented reality, and all admiration and longing turned into simple carnal joy. CinemaThe 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 every time we return to the old garden, we always preset countless beautiful scenes in our hearts, and we will eventually be smashed without exception, but we are happy.
