Recently I was reading "The Laughter" by Li Dan. The title of the book is taken from a sentence he said: I laughed before I started speaking, and listened after I finished laughing. I tell you my heartfelt complaint.
His story is basically like this. It seems absurd at first glance, but it is full of black and cold humor. After closing the book, you always have to chew and reflect. He is Li Dan. How could Mr. Dan tell you an ordinary story in a serious manner? Where will the next thunder be?
I searched and searched, and then I fell into Li Dan's trap. Maybe many stories themselves are absurd and nihilistic. If you feel something in your heart, the story will have meaning.
His stories are very short and can be read in a few minutes. The storytelling routine is also different from ordinary people. The stories rarely directly criticize people. They like irony and metaphors, which probably confirms the sentence: Smile on the face, mmp in the heart.
For example, in "Dog Town" he wrote, there are fewer and fewer people in the town, while there are more and more wild dogs, and many people eventually turned into dogs. Probably it is to express the feeling that one’s youth has been fed to dogs!

They both represent a point of view: good articles are minimalist, and good writers rarely use adjectives and nouns to modify their articles. There is such a feeling when reading Li Dan's story. It is short and quick. Although he doesn't say a word, it shows an ukiyo-e painting of life.
For example, when he wrote "This Sad Chilean Folk Song Never Stops", he did not spend a single ink to describe what kind of song it was or what kind of auditory hallucination it felt like. He only used the word Chile Folk songs are highly summarized.
If you are as unfamiliar with Chile as I am, then this song must have countless imaginations in your mind. If you happen to be familiar with Chile, then this song will be stuck in your head.

The first time I met Li Dan was in "Tucao Conference". He had squinted eyes that could never be opened, a round nose, a round face, and round-rimmed glasses. When he smiled, Showing a mouth of uneven teeth.
There are still many discrepancies between his works and his smiling, laughing image on the screen. On the screen, he is: ugly, industrious, indistinct, lazy and depressed. In his works, he is delicate, sensitive and insightful of world affairs.
He wrote "Constricted" and went to the barber shop for a haircut. The girl who washed his hair deliberately chatted up and over-served him, which made him stressed. In the end, he was relieved when the girl showered him with water.
When he wrote "The Legend of Shit", he was full of shit and rushed into his butthole. He had no choice but to find the toilet, and finally encountered a robber. When the shit is too much, it often inspires the bravery of the world. Come.

Li Dan said that he loves to write poems, and my favorite poems are also his. Li Dan's poems are in inverse proportion to his appearance. No matter how ugly Li Dan is, the artistic conception of his poems will be as beautiful as his wife Kuroo-chan.
His poems are not many in length, only 12, and each one has a Li Dan-style romance. He wrote in "Youth, Make a Friend":
There are also many Christmas-style love words, such as the widely circulated sentence:
Today's Li Dan writes here , just for fun. In the words of Li Dan: Be happy, friends, the world is not worth it.
