Wild Bodhisattva

✨The selected collection of Li Zishu's short stories has been reprinted. The world is a new world, and this world is the other side of the secular world.
✨Specially included is the new short story "The Sea"
——This was the first time in their lives that they sat together and watched the sea.
※Editor's Recommendation※
"Wild Bodhisattva" is a collection of short stories by Malaysian Chinese writer Li Zishu.
Twelve short stories, twelve densely-woven, gorgeous, whimsical and lively short songs of joy and sorrow.
"Life is so moist, infested with all sorts of inexplicable mushrooms, ferns, tumors, fungi, scars, mosses, mildews, and diseases."
Bizarre imaginary fables and mottled and sticky love all flow under Li Zishu's pen, painting a fantastic and magnificent picture of the Nanyang world.
In addition to classic works such as "Northern Frontier," "Wild Bodhisattva," and "Let's Watch Ai Iijima Together," this edition also includes Li Zishu's new short story, "The Sea." With just a few strokes, it explores the unspeakable jealousy and love between people.
"They lay there, holding hands, like they were backstroke on a calm sea."
※Recommended by famous experts※
Wandering between realism and absurdity, between the boredom of daily life and bizarre imaginary adventures, between anger and pain, Li Zishu seems to be still searching for a style that allows her to express herself freely. She is not afraid of approaching the abyss of trauma and is willing to repeatedly take the risk of exploring the bottom of the abyss.
——Wang Dewei ※Author’s own words※
My biggest dream is to let Chinese readers rediscover the joy of reading short stories, experience the literary power brought by short stories, and further understand Malaysian Chinese literature.
——Li Zishu
