About the author

Yu Hua (simplified Chinese: 余华; traditional Chinese: 余華; pinyin: Yú Huá) is a Chinese author, born April 3, 1960 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. He practiced dentistry for five years and later turned to fiction writing in 1983 because he didn't like "looking into people’s mouths the whole day." Writing allowed him to be more creative and flexible.[citation needed] He grew up during the Cultural Revolution and many of his stories and novels are marked by this experience. One of the distinctive characteristics of his work is his penchant for detailed descriptions of brutal violence.

Yu Hua has written four novels, six collections of stories, and three collections of essays. His most important novels are Chronicle of a Blood Merchant and To Live. The latter novel was adapted for film by Zhang Yimou. Because the film was banned in China, it instantly made the novel a bestseller and Yu Hua a worldwide celebrity. His novels have been translated into English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Persian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian, Serbian, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Malayalam and Turkish.

Read in Found in Translation anthology. A dentist turned writer because he could not stand looking inside people's mouth. I can understand that.

I read this six months ago and I still remember something about a young boy hitchhiking and being picked up by a lorry full of apples. At some point someone robs the lorry and the driver is not too bothered. Don't remember the message though. Made me want to read more by the author.

This is the third book I've read from Chinese author Yu Hua and I still appreciate his novels and writing style. This book is composed of 11 short stories. The main theme is death and the leading character is usually a young adult. This book differs from the previous two read, which shows that the author can renew himself, write both novels and short stories. It is easy and fast read understandable by all.

Weird as all hells. My favorite of the 4 Chinese stories in the Found In Translation anthology.

The others are:
• "The Tiger Guest" by Pu Songling (reviewed here)
• Kong Yiji by Lu Xun
• A Woman Like Me by Xi Xi

附录中虚伪的作品一文可谓是画龙点睛之笔，告诉读者本书收纳的文章其实是作者对文字表达的象征意义的实验，一切所谓的荒诞现实只是脱离于时代秩序的另一个维度的现实世界，作者的任务是尽可能展示现实的多面或不可预料性，用他人的眼光讲他人的故事，而不是始终让读者在舒适区中重复意料之中的旅程，这么一来，本书中每篇文章的立意就比较鲜明了，一切都合理。此外作者很喜欢交叉不同时间和人物的维度最后实现一个闭环，即揭露故事的真相。

这本书我想给6星！！！

《十八岁出门远行》出门的时候是一个红背包，也许远行时候背包会丢，也会鼻青脸肿，但是你获得的东西远不止一个背包，也许那些你拥有的能让你获得愉悦东西并非必须是实物，它可以是内在的充盈。看似失去，实则无限拥有。

《西北风呼啸的中午》很幽默的一个故事，莫名其妙多了个朋友，但他已经死去。

《鲜血梅花》一个虚弱不会武功的人带着梅花剑去寻杀父仇人，结果一路上为了帮助别人，自己反而没问到仇人是谁。但是结果是帮了别人，就是帮了自己。以及有些时候走的路太长太曲折就会忘了为什么出发，但这不重要，因为时间是个圆，经历是个圈。命运自有安排。

《往事与刑罚》一个没法和自己和解的人，试图寻思，但最终与自己和解的过程。

《爱情故事》关于女生意外怀孕后，男生的逃避责任的怯弱；关于细水长流的陪伴之后试图寻求新鲜。

《命中注定》两个孩子认识后去大宅玩，听见其中一个小孩的声音在喊“救命”，多年后，那个孩子死在那个宅子里。所有的偶然因素，其实都是必然的结果。

《两个人的历史》每个人的人生道路都是不一样的，没必要去互相比对，也没必要为了合群而合群。

《此文献给少女杨柳》太厉害了这个故事，用文字呈现出了空间变幻莫测的感觉。反反复复看了三遍，依旧发现这个故事无解。杨柳到底怎么死的？到底还剩几颗炸弹？凌乱又无比精彩！这个故事仿佛融合了石黑一雄的“不可信的叙述人”写法与博尔赫斯的时间空间上的闭环写法。太惊艳了！不同的是，余华不是将故事闭环，而是将故事抛向时间与空间的凌乱。

艺术家在任何一个时代都只能是少数派，而且往往是那个时代的笑柄，虽然在下一个时代里，他们或许会成为前一时代的唯一代表，但他们仍然不是为未来而创作的。对于匠人来说，他们也同样拥有未来。所以我说艺术家是为虚无而创作的，因为他们是这个世界上仅存的无知者，他们唯一可以真实感受的是来自精神的力量，就像是来自夜空和死亡的力量。在他们的肉体腐烂之前，是没有人会去告诉他们，他们；自我对世界的感知其终极目的便是消失自我。人只有进入广阔的精神领域才能真正体会世界的无边无际。

很多篇都没太读明白。平时看故事总是冲着情节或者意义去的，但这些故事都比较魔幻现实，不太能以常理理解。读了后言之后似乎朦朦胧胧地感受到了他为什么会这样写，以及自己最近写作时也隐隐受到了影响。文字本就是想象的世界，更往大了说，整个我们生活的社会都是想象出来的构造，所以写作时尽可以想写什么就自由地写。意义都是次要，能酣畅淋漓地表达自己此刻脑海中的胡思乱想才是第一。
