Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who enjoy Ye Xin's work and want to complete the "Wounds" trilogy
- Readers of long-form fiction interested in urban love and marriage themes and women's emotional lives
- Readers interested in Shanghai city life and the circumstances of young intellectuals
- General readers who hope to find reflections of the times and reality in a love story
Not a good fit for
- Readers of genre fiction who prefer strong suspense and fast-paced plotting
- Readers looking for systematic theories of love and marriage or psychological analysis
- Readers uninterested in urban emotional themes who prefer history or science fiction
Reading tips
- Read *Marriage Wounds* first if possible, to better appreciate how the trilogy continues and concludes its treatment of love and marriage.
- As you read, pay attention to the real-life circumstances behind the characters' emotional choices, and don't rush to judge who is right or wrong.
- Set aside an uninterrupted block of time for reading, and follow the plot to experience the shifting rhythms of urban emotion.
- After reading, compare with Ye Xin's earlier works to see how the historical background and emotional writing differ.

About the author
Ye Xin, originally named Ye Chengxi, was born in Shanghai in October 1949 and is a contemporary Chinese writer. In 1969 he went to Guizhou as a sent-down youth and spent ten years there, an experience that deeply shaped his writing. In 1977 he published his first work, The High Miao Ridge, and later brought out novels such as The Wasted Years, Family Education and The Debt of Sin, several of which he adapted into television dramas that drew wide public attention. Known for his social novels, Ye Xin focuses on ordinary people's fates and emotions amid changing times, with delicate and realistic strokes. In recent years he has also written cultural essays such as Shanghai: A Personal Portrait and new works including Marriage in Sorrow, Soul in Sorrow and Love in Sorrow. He once served as vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association.
