🌱Expert recommendation:

I was only going to read "Late Spring", but ended up reading the whole book. San San is a good writer. - Yu Hua

San San has a strong soul in her fragile body. She can feel every emotional throbbing of her characters, but she does not indulge in them. She coldly observes the betrayal, struggle and helplessness behind the throbbing. ——Liang Hong

San San is the Little East Demon in young novels, who is both evil and righteous, charming, erratic and free, and hard to find. - Li Weichuang

🌱Editor’s recommendation:

👪In San San's novel "Late Spring", the son walks into his father's remarried family, and the stepmother who greets him is strange and hard to ignore. There is no trace of passion here, only the suspicion of a down-and-out old man, which makes the ringing of the clock add suspense. The work reveals the amazing side of ordinary life through this daily situation, which is thought-provoking. The author has a unique observation and sensitivity, is good at seeing the abnormal from the ordinary, and captures the meaningful freeze frame in the fleeting moment. ——Award speech for the 2021 Qinghualang People's Literature Award Newcomer Award

🌿"Late Spring" is a novel with a tone. It is both slow and fast, tender and cold. It goes deep and escapes at the same time, tries to get close but is still alienated in the end, which makes one feel melancholy and sad. The exploration of Chinese family ethics relationships goes deep into the core and stops at the right point. San San strongly demonstrates her artistic talent in this novel - the outside and the inside discover and illuminate each other. The sad, vast and closed late spring is a scene of the season, but also a scene of the inner self. ——Award speech for the 7th Yu Dafu Novel Award

Spring night has come, Hangzhou is windless

The rue Saint-Simon in the 7th arrondissement of Paris is still where we drink all night long

In Shanghai, genius indulges in dreams

The suburbs of Beijing are densely lit and shadowed, like a Woody Allen movie

Maybe in Cairo, desire and love are synonymous

From Nanjing to Hebei, and finally to Ephesus

Walking through the streets of the city

Tossing and turning in the ever-changing life

Where will destiny take us? 🌃
