Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Classics, history, and literature may give you a headache, and soap operas may only be watched once, but Xiaobo's novels are timeless and never tire of reading. "Black Iron Age" is set in the "Black Iron Apartment" and uses a fantastic storyline to tell the story of the "institution"'s poisoning of "knowledge" and its absurd treatment. This book also includes Wang Xiaobo's early unpublished short and medium-length works, from which we can get a glimpse of his creative style in the subsequent trilogy: absurd, unruly, passionate, colorful... At the same time, it specially selects "Like Water Tenderness", the original novel of the popular actress "Little Swallow" Zhao Wei's first film "Eastern Palace•Western Palace". Others include "Green Haired Monster", "War Blessing", "This is Real", "Song Fairy", "This Life", "Metamorphosis", "Cat", "I Greet the Dawn on a Deserted Island", "Forever Young", "No. 1A Lixin Street and Kunlun Slave", "Hong Xian Steals the Box", "Hong Fu Runs at Night", "Night Travel Notes", "Uncle and Lover", "Pumpkin Tofu", "Two O'clock in the Night", "Wandering in the Dark", "Cherry Red", "Fourth Year of University", "Black Iron Apartment", "The Brightest Sunshine", "Ghost Camp", "The Traitor and Us", and "Unsuccessful Love".
