Winning works by Huang Jinshu, winner of the Taiwan Times Literature Award and the United Daily News Literature Award
................
※Editor's Recommendation※
☆ "Rain" is the winner of the Taipei International Book Fair Grand Prize and the Golden Tripod Award for Literature in 2017. It is also the winner of the first Peking University Wang Moren-Zhou Anyi World Chinese Literature Award in 2018. It includes the short story "Return" that won the fourth Yu Dafu Novel Award. The author Huang Jinshu is a heavyweight Chinese writer in Malaysia and has won important Taiwanese literary awards - the Times Literature Award and the United Daily News Literature Award. "Rain" is the first time that Huang Jinshu's work has been introduced to the mainland in its original form.
☆ Whether in the field of creation or research, Huang Jinshu's representativeness in contemporary Malaysian Chinese literature (Malaysian Chinese literature) is unquestionable. Liang Wendao once said: "One of the characteristics of Malaysian writers is that they are particularly careful in the management of language and words. Frankly speaking, even in today's mainland China, the birthplace of what we call Zhongzhou Zhengyun, many novelists of the same generation may not be as mature and sophisticated as them."
☆ Huang Jinshu uses his creation and argument to fight against the oblivion of history and seek a way out for Malaysian Chinese literature. His creations refer to his life experience in his hometown, inherit the "alternative history" that was almost lost in the past, and create a fantasy historical narrative, using literature to make people re-examine the past and question where the future should go.
☆ This book has a magical style and detailed descriptions. Reading it makes you feel lost in the depths of the humid and hot South China Sea rainforest, sharing the fear and terror of that small family and the cycle of reincarnation together.

※Content Introduction※
A small family left their homeland and went to Southeast Asia, living and taking root in the rubber forests of the Malay Peninsula, surrounded by ferocious beasts, outsiders with ulterior motives and lingering ghosts. With the sudden disappearance and strange deaths of family members, the slow and depressing pace accumulated until one day, bursting into an explosive and strange mutation. The floods brought by heavy rain sometimes led to the other side. They escaped from the world from the clutches of the god of death, and immediately turned into foreign objects and were thrown into the next reincarnation, repeating the cycle over and over again.
