About Book
About Book
"The camphor tree, Grandma Ruan, Qiaoxing Hair Salon, and the entire neighborhood have all become a thing of the past."
"Little Flower Girls" is the latest collection of novels by writer Wang Zhanhei, featuring six short and medium-length stories written over the past three years. This time, the author journeys from the bustling streets to the deeper reaches of the city, from the older generation to his own peers, and also attempts to delve into the secret forest within every ordinary person. The relationship between people and space always carries the relationship between people and time. Entering to observe and explore is an unchanging passion and a new growth.
The green train from Jiaxing to Shanghai, the last free shuttle to RT-Mart, the intermittently reappearing gay dance corner in People's Park, and beneath the ruins of demolition, those gradually forgotten newsstands, bridge arches, and pigeon coops are quietly being picked up and cherished by others. The heroes emerging from the streets are like derailed satellites, wandering through the old and new of the urban landscape. After the passage of time, they use their robust joy to build an enduring faith in the free growth of people and the world.
You will also discover the magical connections in the small universe of that community, the firecracker shop owned by Mr. Lai in "The Empty Cannon", the hair salon of Qiaoxing, who was once a rising star, the lame Ah Xing who made an agreement with two disabled friends to find a strange woman after popping the balloon, and the eternal Lao Wang... They swam around, rising and sinking in the city swimming pool, breathing deeply.

1. Winner of the inaugural Blancpain Utopia Literary Award, Wang Zhanhei's latest collection of novels marks his transformation into a mature work. Winner of the inaugural Blancpain Utopia Literary Award in 2018 with his debut novel, "Empty Cannon," the post-90s writer Wang Zhanhei presents his transformation into a mature work, "Little Flower." Six short and medium-length works, a wildly romantic road movie, take you on a journey through the urban jungle. This time, Zhanhei journeys from the streets to the deeper reaches of the city, from the lives of the older generation of ordinary men to his own peers, and even attempts to delve into the secret forests within the hearts of ordinary people, giving the novel a more open and broad tone.

2. The heroes who walk out of the streets, wander between the new and the old in the urban landscape; after being washed away by time, they use strong happiness to build up the unquenchable faith in the free-growing people and the world - the twelve-and-a-half-yuan green train, wandering from the small town to the big city; the last free shuttle bus to RT-Mart, heading for the wonderful night in the supermarket where there is a brief encounter with strangers; the gay dance corner in People's Park, the Haibao forgotten in the corner of the road, are the scenery that cannot be seen on TV and posters; under the gradually abandoned bridge, there are free-growing people and the world... The heroes who walk out of the streets, the young actress Ruan Qiaoxing, the big black fish Asan, the buzzing nose, the lame Ah Xing, the eternal Old Wang, they are like satellites derailed and launched from the old territory, wandering and shining in the behemoth-like city.
