Emma “Must Seed Inn”
A Ideal Flower of Chivalrous
This is a novel with a novel narrative that combines traditional martial arts stories with present CinemaIndustry social life blends, trying to reconstruct a new world of chivalrousness 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” of urban life with a sense of life and pain, and at the same time, she 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”
A new experience for writers born in the 1980s
If the increasingly bizarre situation 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, as the theme of literature, will never be easy, but it is precisely because a good work plays an irreplaceable role that this theme becomes the goal of writers’ pursuit and competition.
This novel by Chen Chongzheng brings us surprises, with his unique imagination and wealthBabaylanThe pioneering narrative method and the in-depth thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…”, the real life is disassembled and reassembled, opening up a channel of inspiration for readers.

Chan Goodbye “The 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 already Cinema 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 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 had to look into the sky during the rainy season. “The Circus is Coming” showed a strange spirit, and we got an article about “It’s about to be” as time. A good novel about driving force and spatial construction power.
Not only that, the intertextuality between “circus” and people in small towns is another profound meaning in the novel. Can imagined stories really transcend specific life? It is originally necessary to be “indiscriminate”, what is the meaning of the novel’s attempt to “speak”? The difference with the spirit of young people is probably because middle-aged people begin to assume spiritual room and want to use this to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that has existed.

Chi Zijian “Stewed Horse BootsKomiks“
The value of life genealogy is immortal
As an excellent 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 of “Steamed Horse Boots” is a bit of a meaning of accumulation.
In the short space, Chi Zijian incorporates many elements such as history and reality, war and human nature, animals and humans, and writes the desolation of history and the warmth of human nature. In the heavy snow all over the sky, Chi Zijian’s beautiful and calm brushstrokes are even showing the hostile environment. The coldness and cruelty in Komiks still maintain her unique softness and consideration. Whether it is wolf nature, human nature, death, or survival, they all maintain immortal value in the genealogy of life. Cinema
The novel adopts the “narration from the air” 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 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 caught me with a unique language style. There is no doubt that she belongs to the Mongolian people – sheep walking in the wind and snow, “Ga Le-Ga Le-” shocking. However, the author was born in 1999, which made me connect the language of my work with the Internet. Discourses like “Youths are keen on games” carry the color of the Internet youth subculture. The language style of the clan and the long-lasting language of the Mongolian tribe interact to form a slightly dazzling, uncomfortable but full of personality.
The work is preceded by fables. A baby appeared in the ram’s belly, a paradoxical and weird ominous sign, so “the grassland 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 symbols and pictures that cannot be explained and cannot be explained clearly constitute the charming allegorical characteristics of the work.

6</Huang Jinshu'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 "The Late Youth" 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.
Magic is both an unfulfilled hope and an elegy for a desire to change, presenting us with a unique 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.

I would rather “Train”
The Shadow of the Year The Voice of Time
Thinkers would rather be good at literary exploration. The novel uses the wildness of the former teenagers to lead readers to take the whistling train, and together captures the broken shadows of the years from Beijing Liulichang to Yongdingmen Railway Station, and captures the quiet and lost innocence of Xiaoqins in the center of their growth.
Deep in the Komiks of history and human nature, in the story space outside the residential compound and the capital, the sound of the train whistle turned into the sound of time in the novel, and rushed 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 on why he couldn’tBabaylan
“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 it is a little abrupt and a stroke of Komiks, it implies some differences in this work.
After reading it, it found that this is indeed a novel with profound connotation, a novel that touches the faith and inner world. The novel constantly reproduces the ups and downs and waves experienced by the father who committed suicide by jumping off a building in his life Komiks href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema‘s movement. We also learned about his father’s bravery, righteousness, passion, stubbornness and frustration. The most memorable scene was the details of his notes.
Stripping off the surface narrative, we have a glimpse of his 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, do we know? No, we can only speculate. And this is back 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 was also a challenging writing adventure, that is, he wanted to write and leave.om/”>Cinema people are “completely different short stories”.
Incredible that this short story, which is less than 10,000 words, writes the ups and downs of life grudges and irresistible Komiks human entanglement, and is full of fate and tragedy.
The novel looks at the structure of the big picture, and the details are rich and vivid, and the characters have the fullness that is about to emerge. It not only greatly expands the artistic space of the short story that reflects history and reality, but also deeply conveys the tremor, despair and helplessness deep in the soul of the characters.
The story is full of sadness in indifference and concern in alienation. The unique small and big and light in short storiesBabaylan and heavy artistic dialectics are realized.

Zhang Huiwen’s Angel
HireCinema Finding inner comfort
“Angel” is a delicate work full of sentimental feelings. Around his father’s funeral, “I” who returned from a foreign land, with a desire to find the warmth of happy growth and blood ties, and trying to relive the love with the “angel” in his heart when he was young.
However, when he walked through this once familiar “little placeCinema“, but found that all comfort has become a hard, profit-oriented reality, and all admiration and longing have been transformed into simple carnal joy. The emotions between people are constantly alienating, while the calculation of interests between each other has become a daily routine. They form a close isomorphic relationship with the cold and mud-covered streets of their hometown, allowing them to return. The wanderer can no longer find inner comfort.
If we think “Angel” is a simple nostalgic work that conveys the author’s questioning of 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 our hometown, we always preset countless beautiful scenes in our hearts, and we will eventually be smashed without exception, but we are happy with it.
