【Content Introduction】
Does the sea exist outside of human time? So many people, men and women, are indifferent to life on land, yet yearn to dive into the deeper ocean. What are they looking for? Rather than saying that the cool seawater soothes the burns inflicted by land, it is more accurate to say that the deep sea reveals a philosophy unattainable in life on land.
The 7 novellas and short stories collected in "Dream Dive" all revolve around the theme of "diving," connecting various lives in the city. They depict both adventure and passion, and also portray the intertwined and complex fates of people. There are no different types of humans, only different life sentiments, and the cultural ethics carried behind these sentiments.
【Praise and Recommendations】
Underwater, the greatest surprise for divers is the brief abandonment of land by the human heart. We break free from mundane life, and with a slight disdain, reflect on our home: gains are not really gains, losses are not really losses; the gains and losses of the human world are as uncertain as ripples. - Yu Feng
Diving is a sport Yu Feng is obsessed with, and its professionalism and addictive nature are probably unique among Chinese writers. Through repeated cross-border and spatial crossings, ups and downs, and back-and-forth movements, those special life experiences and human experiences derived from diving have gradually become the recurring themes of Yu Feng's novel creations. - He Tongbin (Literary critic, deputy editor-in-chief of "Yangtze River Literary Review")
