萧红小说集 (Novel Collection of Xiao Hong)

(Xiao Hong, honored as "Literary Goddess of the 1930s", is the most tragic one among the "Top 4 Talented Women of the Republic of China", and a legendary figure. This book is made up of Xiao's representative fictions carefully chosen (Tales of Hulan River, The Field of Life and Death, March in the Town, etc.). Xiao's works express her subjective feeling in a lyric style. Her fictions are structured like essay. Her depictions focus on cultural customs and landscapes rather than personality. She told a story disjointedly but meaningfully, and depicted her childhood as full of wit and humor. The famous writer Shen Yanbing evaluated her works as "Satire is accompanied by humor. You may feel relaxed at the beginning of reading, but will get more and more heavy-hearted when you continue. However, despite of the "heavy-hearted", aesthetics are perceivable, a little morbid but very charming.")
