Emma “Must Seed Inn”
A flower of chivalrous ideals
This is a novel with a novel narrative, integrating traditional martial arts stories with modern social life, trying to reconstruct a new world of chivalrous 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 the “escaper” of life in the city with a sense of life and pain, and is also the “bystander” of the restless and uneasy souls in our current social life. The novel Babaylan has easy brushstrokes, 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 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 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 a writer’s pursuit of harmony. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan‘s goal of competitive sports.
Chen Chongzheng’s novel brings us surprises. He disassembled and reassembled the real life Komiks with his unique imagination and pioneering narrative methods, and through in-depth thinking of “need to guess, need to guess riddles…”, opening up a channel of inspiration for readers.

Chan Goodbye “Circus is Coming”
The spiritual room for middle-aged people in the 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 used to be in the squeeze of material survival as a grid of specific backgrounds and details for the characters who grew up further, and came to life outside of his livelihood, just like a stubborn one. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks Strong spiders also have 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 soon” 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 imagined stories 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 the beginning of middle age.Assume that there is room for spiritual energy and want to use this to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that was once.

Chi Zijian’s “Steamed Horse Boots”
The value in the life genealogy
Chi Zijian As an excellent writer who has been in the literary world for many years, he seems to have few short stories in recent years. Babaylan‘s short story “Stewed Horse Boots” has a bit of a deep 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, Komiks Chi Zijian’s graceful and calm brushstrokes still maintain her unique softness and consideration even when showing 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 “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 such old stories of the Anti-Japanese United Nations shine with new literary brilliance.

Du Lan’s “Mihuo”
Cultural palette and BabaylanMongolian Narrative
Du Lan’s short story “Mihuo” 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 ram’s belly, a strange and ominous sign, so the “prairie faded” and the world was steepChange; “I was shocked…” A series of mysterious and strange suspense symbols emerged in the middle of the real world. The indescribable symbols Komiks and pictures constitute the charming allegorical characteristics of the work.

HuangCinemaJinshu’s “Late Youth”
The Elegy of Longing for Change
Huang Jinshu’s narrative has wild imagination and distinct style, stirring up the mystery of the waves in the South China Sea and the vastness of the vastness of the Komiks. Cinema His short story “The Late Youth” integrates 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 historical turning point. This extreme juxtaposition reflects the insignificant lonely coldness of his personal 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.

Would rather “Train”
Shadows of the Years 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.
In historyDeep in the human nature, in the story space outside the residential compound and the capital city, the sound of the train whistle turned into the sound of time in the novel, running 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”
Cinema speculates why he can’t extricate himself
“Maybe I changed my faith after leaving that city.” This is the first sentence of the novel “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 that some differences in this work are Cinema.
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 is the first sentence of the novel.

Ye Zhaoyan’s “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”
The unique artistic dialectics of KomiksYe Zhaoyan beautifully completed a well-prepared artistic fight with “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”, which was also a very challenging writing adventure, that is, he wanted to write short stories that were “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, “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 when I was young.
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. 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 their hometown’s cold and mud-covered streets, so that the returning wanderers can no longer find the comfort in their hearts.
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 our hometown, we always preset countless beautiful scenes in our hearts, and we will eventually be smashed without exception, but we are happy.
