Legendary Figures in Tianjin (3) (Chinese Edition) [Chinese]

By 冯骥才 and Feng Jicai

The people of Tianjin: assertive, sharp, competitive, witty, loyal, and deeply concerned with honor and appearance. The spirit of Tianjin: vibrant, robust, playful, tenacious, and full of flavor. 强梁、爽利、好胜、幽默、义气、讲理讲面的天津人 鲜活、刚健、逗哏、较劲、有滋有味的天津劲儿 Continuing the style of Mortals of the World Volumes I and II, this collection is composed of eighteen interconnected short stories depicting the local eccentrics and urban oddballs of old Tianjin. These are not elites, but ordinary people living amongst us-yet their words and deeds possess an extraordinary quality. As always, the author offers both praise and criticism for his characters. Their tenacious and rugged temperaments, with virtues and flaws intertwined, are deeply stamped with the imprint of regional culture, embodying the collective likes and dislikes of the local populace. With masterful storytelling and exquisitely concise prose, each tale leaves a lingering aftertaste. 延续《俗世奇人》壹、贰风格，由十八个短篇小说连缀构成，描写天津卫的乡土异士和市井奇人。他们中绝少精英，都是活在你我身边的凡人，但其言谈举止又有非凡之处。作者对篇中人物照例有褒有贬，他们那种强韧剽悍的性格瑕瑜互见，无不深深打上了地域文化的烙印，融入此间百姓集体的好恶。作者谋篇布局功力深厚，文字短小精妙，回味无穷。
