Slow Walk

"Slow Walk" compiles nine novels written by Ban Yu in recent years. The author and his characters stand together, journeying together as companions, through weakness, loneliness, fear, and hardship, yet never stopping. Sharing a vision of rebuilding their lives, they slowly advance across the fields and mountains of life, "believing that it's not too late, that there will be another summer."
The ever-rising underground ice rink, the swimming white unicorn, the visitor who passes through the night and storm, the father who raises his daughter alone, the future poet of the 1980s... These novels thoroughly respond to today's reality with different narrative methods, writing about everyone's entanglement, confusion and pain, and trying to give them the imagination of conquest and transcendence - using the finite to fight the infinite, interpreting existence with action, awakening the eternal silence with inexhaustible noise, and crossing the unknown with firm belief, "there is no beginning, no end, only an endless middle, and the only way is to move forward."
