Author: Bai Xianyong Publisher: Kyushu Publishing House Published by: Ideal Country Year of Publication: 2024-12 Pages: 328 Binding: Hardcover Series: Ideal Country · Bai Xianyong's Works ISBN: 9787522534176 Bai Xianyong's personally selected articles— Recommended by Dai Jin Hua, Zhou Yijun, Yong Mei, Jiang Fangzhou, Du Liang, and others! Famous works that influenced San Mao, Leslie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, and others! 2024 hardcover single volume ------------------------------------ 【Editor's Recommendation】 ★ "Taipei People," the representative work of Bai Xianyong's collection of short stories, selected as one of the 100 best Chinese novels of the 20th century— The fourteen short stories have different writing techniques and lengths, and each can exist independently and be considered a first-class short story. But when these fourteen pieces are brought together and linked as one, the effect increases dramatically: not only does the scope of the novel become wider, allowing us to see the "diverse aspects" of society, but more importantly, because the themes and meanings are repeatedly repeated and mutually complement each other, we can further understand the meaning of the work and glimpse the author's view of life and the universe hidden within the work. Recommended reading by Yang Zhenning, Yu Qiuyu, Brigitte Lin, Cai Kangyong, Xu Zhiyuan, and others. ★ The eternal Bai Xianyong, the eternal youth edition, "a century of cultural nostalgia"— From Shanghai to Taipei, from Taipei to New York, from the Paramount to Xinyi Road, from Xiafei Road to Central Park, time flows, and the world changes, but what remains unchanged is the eternal Chinese nostalgia. Beautiful to the extreme, it is somewhat desolate. A glimpse of Bai Xianyong's representative works of various periods of "social life," one can see the flow of time and space and the social evolution of Chinese culture over the past century. ----------------------- 【Author's Words】 Fifty years have passed since the publication of "Taipei People," and half a century has passed in a flash. Looking back at my old works from such a long time ago, I can't help but be surprised that "Taipei People" carries so much sorrow, and the pages are full of vicissitudes, I don't know where it came from. Thinking carefully, I'm afraid I have to start with my childhood and adolescence. —Bai Xianyong
