Here, there is more than fiction. There are sighs rising from the depths of history, faint glimmers of light within the darkness of human nature, and true feeling and ideals that refuse to die even in troubled times. This section collects the various literary works of Yeshan Luming, including microfiction, novellas, historical fiction, and character stories. Some are drawn from real life, some from the long river of history, and some from the author’s enduring reflections on human nature, fate, and the age in which we live. Here, there is tenderness, but also cruelty; splendor like a dream, but also the abyss of darkness. May readers, within these stories, come to see the human world.
