Waterfall (15 short stories in simplified Chinese characters)

The short story collection consists of fifteen short stories. "Love," "Two Meetings," "Three Days After the Father's Death," and "Empty Room" explore the questions and reflections on elderly life through the lens of end-of-life care and the loneliness of old age, portrayed with warmth or indifference in intricate narratives. In "Terrace," "Femme Fatale," "Woman and Locksmith," "Train Passing Through Midnight Silence," "No One Will Love His Profligate Anymore," "Strange Scenery in the Mountains," and "Wei An, Without Friends, Refusing to Grow Old Alone," the focus is on the disappointment of life, alienation, spiritual struggles, and the desolation of the soul, showcasing the characters' loneliness and helplessness, while also presenting human resilience and resistance. "Waterfall," "Dragon Boat Festival," "September Cinema," and "Breeze Through the Reed Marsh" portray the seemingly pure and beautiful life from the perspective of youth, filled with uncertainty and danger, and the fictional world becomes a distant oasis compared to the tumultuous present era.
