★Zhang Mudi, recognized as one of the "Top Ten Young Writers" by "Children's Literature", a poetic young woman and rising star in literature, presents her first adult work following "Summer Ends" and "Intermittent Footsteps"!
★A masterpiece of youth literature showcasing the growth of China's post-90s generation: This collection features five medium-length and short stories written during Zhang Mudi's high school years. With delicate brushstrokes, it outlines a portrait of youth, displaying the dreamlike and vibrant life of adolescence, akin to a kaleidoscope of youth.
★Poetic prose hazily captures the adolescent psyche: Whose Dream Is in the Dream was once featured on the headline of National Literature. The entire book is filled with a dreamy atmosphere, painting the inner landscapes and emotional world of youth as beautifully as poetry.

To a certain extent, the book outlines the collective portrait of China's post-90s youth, their exquisite inner landscapes, and the vibrant scenes of their blossoming lives. Like a kaleidoscope, it is richly colorful, brimming with dreamlike, hazy, and beautiful atmospheres.

Whose Dream Is in the Dream

All the summers in my memory begin this way
And end this way as well.
The passing years of the city —
One summer severed from the next

Many white wooden horses take flight
Pairs of eyes
Light up one after another
One lands low
Melting like snow
The wind snatches its colorful wings away
Since then, my vision fills with boundless white

The flow of time
Carries me through white in search of white
The dawn that never arrives—its light
Leaves me unsteady on my feet
My search and I
Are kept awake night after night
By the feverish heat of summer
