This book collects three representative novellas by the writer Chi Li. «Heart Ages Before Body» won the first Lu Xun Literary Prize. Through the encounter between the Tibetan horseman Jiamucuo and the modern man «I,» it shows the collision between plateau culture and modern civilization. «Love and Hatred» tells the bumpy and bitter fate of a woman in the Jianghan Plain. Through her marital entanglements with Lao Jiu from Henan, it expresses contemporary women’s survival dilemma and emotional struggles amid the changes of the times. «Forging» reflects the troubles encountered by a young couple in the process of preparing for a second child. With her unique artistic technique and keen social observation, Chi Li elevates the ordinary people’s urban life into a literary landscape, revealing their philosophy of survival in the torrent of the times.
