The Stage Installation/装台 [Chinese]

By Chen Yan

"The Stage Installation" portrays a group of people in an unfamiliar trade with deeply moving and intricate storytelling. 《装台》写了一个陌生行当里的一群人，写得九曲回肠！ The book, through the life experiences of the stage installer Shunzi Diao as its narrative thread, vividly portrays the living conditions of various characters in Xijing City. It not only depicts the artistic community represented by Director Jin but also meticulously details the arduous lives of "bottom-tier" individuals like Dadjack, Dunzi, and Sanpi who work alongside Shunzi installing stages. It truly presents a "broad panorama of social life," a "grand human world." The work showcases a kaleidoscope of lives, deeply rooted in reality, yet presenting unheard-of, unseen, and previously unknown contemporary Chinese stories that are both solid and peculiar, reasonable yet refreshingly novel. Readers will find it hard to put down and will want to applaud heartily Despite his "bottom-tier" status, Shunzi Diao still upholds his responsibilities, his commitments, his sense of duty and love for his family and society, his steadfast values, and his dignity in life. This is precisely the essence of the unending vitality of the Chinese nation. 该书以装台人刁顺子的生活遭遇为线索，写出了西京城各色人等的生活情状。既有对以靳导为代表的艺术家群体的形象刻画，也有对与刁顺子一同装台的大吊、墩子、三皮等"底层"人的艰难生活的详细铺陈。可谓呈现了"广阔的社会生活"，一个"盛大人间"。作品展现百色人生，紧接地气，却又闻所未闻、见所未见、知所未知，既扎实，又奇异，既合情理，又绝顶新鲜古怪的当代中国故事。读来令人不忍放下，击掌称快！虽然身处"底层"，刁顺子仍然有他的责任，有他的担当，有他对家庭，对社会的一份责任心和爱心，有他的价值坚守和生命的尊严。是为中华民族生生不息的精义所在。 Chen Yan is a renowned contemporary writer and playwright.
