I don't have a name.

Yu Hua's personally compiled, most complete collection of short stories to date
The works selected and recorded in this collection represent another path in my life. Unlike my actual life path, it has the possibility of being re-created, and it is accurate and precise. Although the passage of time may cause its pages to yellow and its words to fade, each re-publication renews it, restoring its vivid image. This is why I love writing so much.
—Yu Hua
**************************
In this collection of stories, Yu Hua selected 21 short stories, including his early representative work "Leaving Home at Eighteen," "Bloody Plum Blossoms," which explored new literary styles, and "Boy in the Twilight," from his golden age of writing. The order of the stories is not strictly chronological, but rather based on their intrinsic literary connections, moving from the avant-garde of the 1980s to the steady and profound style of the 1990s. Yu Hua's short stories showcase a wider range of literary styles, even including wuxia (martial arts fantasy) themes. His short stories possess a somewhat cunning narrative perspective that surveys the world, combining the strong storytelling of bestselling novels with the superb artistry of pure literature. This book is full of questions about fate, explorations of human nature, and reverence for nature, as well as infinite compassion for life and profound reflections on reality.
