Jing Ge's novels have a continuous force, and those small and trivial aspects of life do not appear scattered in his narration. There is always a continuous driving force at work. His novel is both a dazzling technique and a pleasure game.
-- Chen Xiaoming

★ With the usual sensitive, precise, and clear writing style of Jing Ge, the six novellas depict the author's unique childhood memories and small city life experiences, with a strong sense of liveliness.
★ The words of Jingge are interwoven with love and desire, which are as dense and abundant as the drizzle in the south, adding a carved intensity and depth to the poetic scenes of the south.

his book includes six representative novellas of author Jing Ge: Desire for Love, Explosion, Victory, The Dead Do Not testify, Rainy Night Flowers, and County Town.

This story is based on ordinary life and circumstances, but it is presented to the reader with a different look. In this book, there are the first sprouts of love, the warmth of friendship, the trance of past times, the confusion of the new era, the swaying and sinking of love and material, the sadness and joy of life, getting old, sickness and death. The writer's unique childhood memories and small-town life experiences are written from different perspectives, resulting in a seemingly simple but twisted story with distinct and strong characters.
