Can Xue invites us into a surreal landscape where reality is as fluid as a river itself. This collection of thirteen stories weaves together vivid, dreamlike narratives that challenge our perceptions of time, identity, and existence.
The style of these stories is akin to surrealism, with all the attendant pleasures and irritations ... Is the story sincere? Is it satirical? Its charm lies in its ability to leave such questions intriguingly unresolved.
