She has a poetic name and writes in a low-key way. It is also difficult to find information and works about her on the Internet. After a detailed understanding, I found that this girl is not simple. The Workers' Publishing House also published her collection of novels "Cherry Blossoms in MarMargo". Her brushwork is euphemistic and elegant, which gently touches her heart.
The Queen of May will be published in June 2008.

My grandpa
Now I am far away from pingle town. When I say it, it sounds like I'm talking about someone else's business, but it's not.
Starting from Yong 'an City, going out from the West Third Ring Road, passing through Quxian County and Chongning County, entering the boundary of Yongfeng County, then walking westward along the dilapidated national road for more than half an hour, and then turning left for 20 minutes, I came to pingle town, the county seat of Yongfeng County, where everyone is my hometown.
My grandfather likes to say, "One day you will write something for the people in our town."
I said, "Where do people in our town read books?"
We only have four streets in the southeast and northwest of pingle town, because we have never won the lottery, and there are two T-junctions in the center of the town. Standing at the T-junction for an afternoon, you can see all the people in the town: Hakkas live in the north gate, some pustules live in the east street, everyone in the south street is a common people, and only a few scholars in the west street-these people have not come before the road outside the town is repaired, and some are just farmers.
When my grandfather hears me say this, he will hum and say, "Little doll, you don't understand. Our town is full of talents! " "
Every time he says this, he wants to tell his story. I quickly filled him with tea, sat down and asked him, "Grandpa, what do you want to say today?"
He said, "Then I'll tell you about the road we built before ..."
Fortunately, although it is the same beginning every time, the story is always different. After a while, he went to visit the provincial capital halfway, and after a while, the most beautiful Chen Sanmei in the town courted him. Grandpa spoke of his pride and spat at the lid of the tea bowl in surprise.
After a while, grandma came to the tea shop and told us to go back for dinner. When grandma came, everyone in the shop was saying, "Grandma Xue, your old man said Chen Sanmei again!"
When we were walking home, grandma asked me, "Do you eat a yellow sugar pot helmet?"
My grandfather said, "I want to eat."
Grandma said, "Tell you Chen Sanmei to buy it for you!"
That was nearly ten years ago.
My grandfather used to say, "I want to see you go to college before you die."
When I was in college, he said, "I want to see you graduate from college before I die."
When I was a graduate student, he said, "I want to see you graduate before I die."
He finally didn't wait.
Grandpa was buried in the cemetery under the Qingxi River in the south gate. On the day of the funeral, only a few old neighbors in the street went. The tomb is unique and well planned, with black and white stone tablets everywhere. When the Qingxi River burst its banks, it was just a wasteland. After Yuan Qingshan died, people in our town set up a monument for her here, and then everyone was buried there.
The monument in Yuan Qingshan is much higher than other monuments. Everyone is used to hanging guns on the top of her monument. I saw them put my grandfather's gun there. No one dared to approach them for a long time. Finally, Ma Yuyan, the old director of the street office, said, "Let's go."
We all left.
I have never been back to pingle town since then.
It is hard for me to understand why my grandfather is so sure that I will write something for the people in our town. In fact, even in Yong 'an, the nearest city to pingle town, few people know of its existence. In the past, when people asked me where I was from, I said, "I'm from Yongfeng County." And added: "It is Yongfeng pork intestines powder produced in Yongfeng County." -In this way, someone will suddenly realize: "That pork intestines powder is really delicious!" -But pingle town is farther.
After Yuan Qingshan's death, the talents in our town discovered in hindsight that they had missed the only chance to make pingle town famous, and they finally dared to talk about her. People in neighboring counties and provincial capitals are talking about Yuan Qingshan, but it's too late, and no one will believe us.
When Yuan Qingshan first moved into the warehouse, my grandfather often took me to see her in Bell Warehouse.
Usually in summer, grandpa always smells of sweat under his arm. We cross the whole South Street, cross the T-junction and walk to Beiwai Street, then we can see the red roof of Belle's warehouse-on the way, he will buy me a snack like cotton candy-and when we walk to the iron gate of Belle's warehouse, grandpa won't let me in. He pulled me into his arms and showed me the warehouse where Yuan Qingshan lived. At that time, people in our town called Yuan Qingshan "that", as if her name was the curse of death.
But none of us died, only "that" died. Then my grandfather began to repeat the sentence: "You should write something for the people in our town." I know he's talking about Yuan Qingshan. Besides Yuan Qingshan, what can pingle town say?
This is the case in our town. There is always someone who wants to remember something about another person because this person is worried that others will forget that person.
On the day my grandfather was buried, I went home to see my grandmother, who was sitting alone in the living room with the curtains half closed and her hair all white. I heard her mutter, "Which one of you wants a yellow sugar can helmet?"
Yan Ge's concise, transparent and sophisticated language has prepared a channel for describing human nature, thus making her works change from emotional writing to meaningful writing.
-Kitamura (a famous novelist)
For a long time, Yan Ge gave me the impression of being reserved and quiet, but after reading The Queen of May, I was amazed: such a strange fiction, such a subtle narrative, such a clever writing style, the whole work was calm and thoughtful. I'm glad that Yan Ge's works are forming a unique character. The Queen of May is bound to be an important work in Yan Ge's growing up.
-Cao Shunqing (famous critic, professor of Chinese Department of Sichuan University)
Yan Ge's novels lurk strangely among the people, but there are so many intriguing things in such a relaxed narrative. You don't have to break life, but you can see the inner texture of life. This is a novelist's gift. There are talented women in Jiangshan. The Queen of May proves that Yan Ge is a worthy leader among the younger generation of writers.
-Chen Xiaoming (famous critic, professor of Chinese Department of Peking University)
Among the post-80s writers, Yan Ge is a rare writer who has found his own unique personal narrative style and language style, and many writers will never get it. In this sense, Yan Ge can be called a talented writer, and she is doomed to a lifetime of literary career.
-Li (editor-in-chief of Tianya)
After the struggle, I have a deeper understanding of the post-80s generation, but The Queen of May is still beyond my reading experience. Its excellent narrative and peculiar imagination are amazing, and I really like this novel.
-David (famous actor, masterpiece: Struggle, Jade Guanyin).
"The Queen of May" depicts the local youth and spiritual frustration with a calm and calm brushwork, which requires how much love and tenacity to transcend sadness. I can't help but admire and look forward to working with the author in the film.
-Wang Chao (famous director, masterpiece: summer in Jiangcheng)
Among the younger generation of writers, Yan Ge's talent is remarkable. Her sensitivity to language and well-trained narration make her writing open, rich and radiant. The Queen of May fully demonstrated her fictional ability. A mature writer is a novelist who understands novels and can observe subtle changes in his mind in novels.
-Xie Youshun (famous critic, professor of Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University)
The narrative is smooth, the language is erratic, the structure is ingenious, and the style is fantastic. This is a truly outstanding work.
