A Flock of Sheep on the Beach [Chinese]

By 新华书店北美网 and 苏童

This book contains 12 classic short stories that vividly depict forgotten, suppressed, and tormented corners of life: family members with ulterior motives after the father disappears from an old-fashioned family, a bow-legged teenager obsessed with cavalry fantasies, a child, shepherd, and sheep "abandoned" by the sea, and a rural girl who escapes to avoid an arranged marriage only to be rejected by city dwellers. These secular tales that straddle reality and the bizarre blend indifference with warmth, desire with loneliness, and depict the ordinary yet paradoxical existence of ordinary people.
