Throughout millenniums, legends of sea monsters secretly have spread among the folks. A re-look at the ultimate inquiry of this nation into the oceans and a replay of the unfettered imagination in the very early years of mankind present a shortcut to the opposite of mediocrity and shallowness as well as a way of selfsalvation in this age of materialism and consumption.

Artist Zhang Xiaojing is an outspoken voice against injustice experienced by Chinese females as she actively encourages female Chinese artists to use installation art, photography and videos to expose domestic violence, gender discrimination, the living conditions of left-behind girls, fertility culture and problems facing single women, among other social issues.

Each of the fi ve stories in this book conceals a sharp yet deeply hidden conf l ict, which involves profound and lasting realities such as barriers between lovers, desire transgression, midlife crisis and panics of the grassroots. Rightly addressing some of the most critical issues confronted by contemporary Chinese people, this fi ction discusses interpersonal gaps that are often too wide to bridge.

A SHORT HISTORY OF SEA MONSTERS

By Sheng Wenqiang

千百年來，海怪的傳說，都在民間秘密地傳遞著。重新審視本民族關(guān)于海洋的終極追問，承續(xù)洪荒年代的奔放想象，無疑是告別平庸與浮泛的一條捷徑，亦是物質(zhì)年代的自救方式。

《到歇馬河那邊去》

TO THE OTHER SHORE OF HORSE-RESTING RIVER

By Xie Luoyi

本書的五則小說都暗藏了一對尖銳但必須深埋的矛盾，涉及親密關(guān)系障礙、情欲逾矩、中年危機(jī)、底層恐慌等幽微現(xiàn)實(shí)。小說切中當(dāng)代中國現(xiàn)實(shí)中人們面臨的致命問題，討論人與人之間難以彌合的距離。
