Chen 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 stretched his brushstrokes ahead of his age. But this time, he used the situation of the young people 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”, so he showed a strange spirit, and we got a good novel with “It’s about to” as the driving force of time and space construction.
Not only that, the intertextuality between “circus” and people in small towns is another profound in the novelmeaning. Can imagined stories really transcend specific 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 middle-aged people is probably because middle-aged people begin to assume spiritual room and want to use this to reactivate the “dream pursuit” journey that they once had.

Speculation on 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.

Ye Zhaoyan’s “Wu Fei and Aunt Wu Fang”
The unique 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 a short story that was “completely different” from others.
Incredible that this short story, which is less than 10,000 words, fully writes the ups and downs of life grudges and irresistible human entanglement of a pair of twin sisters. Full of destiny and tragedy.

Zhang Huiwen’s “Angel”
Search for 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 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. The emotions between people are constantly alienating, and the calculation of interests between each other becomes a daily routine. It Babaylan 1990 cloth drawsThe cold and mud-covered streets of our hometown form a close isomorphic relationship, which makes the return wanderers 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.
