ONE MAN DECISION TO BECOME A TREE - LIU YOUHONG...

This fictive work consists of four novellas. The Reincarnation of Dreamer (¿¿¿¿) is a story
that took place in China  in which the identities of Xiaomeng and me gradually merge into one.
It is a humorous allegory of the conflict between tradition and modernity. Who Knows (¿¿¿¿)
contains the author's reflection of Chinese traditions after she left China and gained
sufficient imaginative distance. Desire's Wings (¿¿¿¿¿) presents the seduction of foreignness
and its conflict  convergence  and integration with the author's native Chinese culture. In One
Man's Decision to Become a Tree (¿¿¿¿¿¿)  the final destination is the thorough solitude within
the human heart  from which no one can escape. Every novella is relatively independent  and
their structures as well as linguistic styles are radically different. The characters' voices
interweave into a symphonic narrative. The language is rich and multifaceted. All fictions 
however  are deeply rooted in reality. As a result  the multiple layers of language constructs
the Baroque architecture of this book.
