About Book
About Book
I don't have a name, and I don't need one.
As long as darkness connects us,
I sink for him in winter, and perish in summer,
Until the very bottom, the very bottom.
As if stepping back in time, we meet 18-year-old Luo Yujia. His temptations and turmoil in love are like a stormy sea; the determination and hardships of love are revealed in every word. It is a confession like the dripping of time, enchanting us, even if we have to stand as tombstones, we will still love.
Revealing one's full self through words, including the once-unspeakable loves, desires, and illnesses, is never easy, and such clarity and poignancy are even rarer. His eyes are both cold and warm. The coldness is the composure he brings to daily life dealing with finances and numbers, while the warmth is the intensity of his heart, when he sheds the journalistic trappings and reveals a more transparent and sensitive voice, speaking for people and defending the values we are gradually losing, through words.
We have always known the allure of writing, but it was not until we met Luo Yujia that we realized that writing can also burn.
Features of this book:
◎Highly recommended by Chen Yizhi (poet, writer), Jian Ying (essayist), Yang Suo (writer), and Wang Shenghong (writer).
◎The poetry collection "Pseudo-Museum" won the 2012 Books.com.tw "Chinese Creative Work of the Year" award.
