His style is wild and familiar. This book is not only an intensive reading of Han Shaogong's short stories, but also gathers masterworks from an oeuvre spanning over 30 years: Most of his creations have been awarded prizes and some of his works have been adapted into films and musicals that achieved wide-reaching influence. Various editions of the book were also illustrated with intuitive sketches by He Liwei, the deputy chairman of the Hunan Writers' Association.
