Most of the various characters in the book are facing desperate situations and are trapped in the whirlpool called life. They are in a dilemma and have nowhere to escape. In "The Innocent Old Woman", the orphaned woman can only touch her in a rented room; in "When Will You Forgive Your Father", an ordinary writer only rethinks the relationship between father and daughter after his father's death; In "Elderberry Sauce", a man's use of birth control for the "happy marriage" he wants actually leads to divorce; in "Female Cat", a cat witnesses a couple's harmonious relationship to the disappearance of love, and also Examining the subtle gender psychology; in "Occasional Art", under the differences between urban and rural areas, unforgettable love ends prematurely... The unexpected endings and the meticulous observation of ordinary people and affairs constitute the unique textual tension of the work.
Sheng Ke: When I found that only voice, I started to talk about it.
When talking about the creative changes between "Female Cat" and previous works, Sheng Ke said frankly that in the past five years, the epidemic and the death of relatives have changed his life. Views and values have changed a lot: "At each age, our attitudes, ways, and angles of looking at things may be different, and our understanding may also be different. That is, when we read a book at different ages, our feelings will definitely be the same if they are different. . It’s not that I deliberately chose such a change in “Female Cat” or in recent novels. I think it’s natural when people reach a certain age, or have a certain level of experience and understanding of things. , and the way of looking at things and the intensity are different, and the way of treating the world is also different."
When talking about "Female Cat"'s first attempt at suspense and gothic colors in this novel collection, Sheng Ke said. He shared that he feels that the greatest pleasure in writing is to challenge yourself and constantly innovate. If you keep repeating it, you will feel bored. She admitted that before writing a work, she may have to search for a long time, such as form, and most importantly, voice. Only when she finds that unique voice can she start telling the story, and only then can the story be told in a way that is particularly suitable for her own creation. original intention.
Sheng Ke
From Sheng Ke’s point of view, as a writer, her stories are almost all excavated from life and real soil, and there are very few things that are groundless. She said: “Often a little bit of trouble in life, such as a piece of news. A title, a specific event, and a specific scene will all bring inspiration and inspiration to me." Regarding the theme of love involved in many novels in "Female Cat", she said: "I pretend to believe in love in literature. , my character pretends to be very loving. I think I was quite a ruthless person when I was writing. When I was very young, people asked me if I believed in love, and I simply said that I didn’t believe in love. I think that my ruthless writing style allows readers to see true love. This also illustrates the unique value of literature and the multiple meanings of love."
Chen Qiufan: "The great thing about literature is that it can help us see ourselves from another perspective. "
Chen Qiufan believes that Sheng Ke's writing achieves a harmony from the physical level to the conscious level to the plot interaction level. Through the writer's extraordinary observation and imagination, she writes the thoughts and actions of ordinary characters in detail. The article "Elderberry Sauce" made him feel like a science fiction novel, because the novel uses very detailed technical descriptions of the surgical process, and it can be seen that the author himself has done a lot of careful research on physiology or medicine.He said: "The final discussion of this novel is about human relationships, how human emotions are interrupted by a sudden accident. Even if all your plans are perfect, your expectations are all With good intentions and good motives, how can it turn into a bad thing? It is because of the uncontrollability of human emotions."
During the reading process, Chen Qiufan said frankly that he would often substitute himself: "In the relationship between the sexes, We often guess some of the other person's intentions, and then think that I am actually doing it for your own good, but the final result is to push it in another direction. This is the power of literature, which can help us see ourselves from another perspective. "

Mai Mai: Exploring the subtleties of gender emotions and human nature under "contrast"
Mai Mai commented that "Female Cat" is a collection of novels with a very broad vision. Many stories in the book take place in different countries. under the cultural environment. And the style of each article is different. Some of them have suspense elements, such as "The Innocent Old Woman" and "The Man Pushing the Empty Stroller", while the ending of "The Unpleasant Beethoven" is full of suspense. There are some horror colors, and it can be seen that Sheng can deliberately integrate elements of the genre into this attempt, which is very surprising to read.
Mai Xiaomai
Mai Xiaomai believes that if the ten novels in "Female Cat" are read together, many interesting and interesting "contrasts" will be found, such as "The Long Causeway of Grass" and "The Art of Occasionality". Some of the big frameworks in the two novels are the same, but it can be seen that the author's intention and what he hopes to express are very different. Sheng Ke explores many long-term and in-depth sexual relationships in this collection of works, but none of them is very dull. Readers can experience the complex emotional world and subtleties of human nature constructed by the author through comparative reading among different works in the entire collection of novels.
