"Empty Cannon" is a story collection by Wang Zhanhei, a new writer born in the 1990s. It includes 8 short stories, describing the colorful little people on the street. Their lives seem ordinary but they also have their own "storms". Wang Zhanhei provides readers with a unique perspective to peek into the life of the city and provides an interesting dimension.

Wang Zhanhei's writing ranges from hazy childhood memories of alleyways and riverbanks to semi-new and semi-old spaces that exist independently of both "countryside" and "city." Their common thread is the familiar society created by the working class in small cities. This community possesses immense capacity, and Wang Zhanhei imbues it with a realistic, detailed, and level-headed presentation, like a series of short films, rendered in black and white but captivating. His perspective is invaluable for a post-90s author.
