Author: Pai Hsien-yung Publisher: Kyushu Publishing House Publisher: Ideal Country Published: 2024-12 Pages: 472 Binding: Hardcover Series: Ideal Country · Pai Hsien-yung's Works ISBN: 9787522534145 Pai Hsien-yung's personally selected articles— Recommended by Dai Jinhua, Zhou Yijun, Yong Mei, Jiang Fangzhou, Du Liang, and others! Famous works that influenced Sanmao, Leslie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, and others! 2024 hardcover single edition ------------------- 【Editor's Recommendation】 ★ "Crystal Boys," Pai Hsien-yung's only full-length novel, selected as one of the 100 best novels since 1944 by Le Monde (France)— Readers will see the comforting side of humanity in those long-standing legends and stories, and make humanity and the misfortune of death reconcile with each other. The "Crystal Boys" in the book are some fragile children, abandoned on the streets, expelled from their homes, repeatedly running away from home or not understood. They gather in a dimly lit, hidden place, and submit to the elders who set beacons for their short-lived destinies. And in the end, they still have to warm each other in the rough, violent tenderness of each other's destined fate. ★ The eternal Pai Hsien-yung, the eternal youth edition, "century-long cultural nostalgia"— From Shanghai to Taipei, from Taipei to New York, from the Paramount to Xinyi Road, from Avenue Joffre to Central Park, time flows, the world changes, what remains unchanged is the eternal Chinese nostalgia. Beautiful to the extreme, it is somewhat desolate. A glance at Pai Hsien-yung's representative works, which reflect the "social life" of various periods, can see the flow of time and space and the social evolution of Chinese culture over the past century. In more and more Chinese libraries, Pai Hsien-yung's literary works belong to the "core collection," with a far-reaching influence, and have a universal nurturing significance for the next generation of writers, and are remembered by people for a long time. ★ Included in the "Pai Hsien-yung's Famous Works Single Edition" personally selected book list, title calligraphy award, conveying Eastern aesthetics— Pai Hsien-yung personally compiled the articles, and Dong Yangzi, the calligrapher used by Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster" and Jay Chou's "Lanting Preface," personally wrote the title of the book, a new aesthetic creation under a pure Eastern thinking. Hardcover design, five-color moss brocade cover, includes old photos of the young Pai Hsien-yung when he was creating, revisiting the people and events of an era.
