【内容简介】
《赵桥村》书写季节和自然的浪漫,《在俄国》记录千禧年的留学生活。这一次,作家顾湘带来全新小说集《老实好人》,收录她近年创作的十一篇中短篇作品。卖燕子的人、和平公园里昔日的爱人、上海郊外的老人、音乐节的朋友、租房失火的城市白领、在异国恋爱的学生……这些人忽然出现,又忽然消失,像一团蘑菇,一棵树,一阵风,一个星球,和宇宙间所有的事一样。他们笨拙而诚实地活着,在人世的风浪中,寻求一点爱和藉慰,看似平静的日常里,总藏着一两桩伤心事。顾湘的笔触看似轻巧自在,却写出生命的重量和不甘。

【 Content Introduction 】
"Zhaoqiao Village" writes about the seasons and the romance of nature, and "In Russia" records the life of students studying abroad in the millennium. This time, writer Gu Xiang brings a new collection of stories, Honest Good People, which includes 11 short and medium-length works she has created in recent years. The swallow seller, the former lover in the Peace Park, the old man in the outskirts of Shanghai, the friend in the music festival, the white-collar worker in the city whose apartment is on fire, the student in love in a foreign country... These people suddenly appear and disappear, like a mushroom, a tree, a gust of wind, a planet, and everything else in the universe. They live awkwardly and honestly, seeking a little love and comfort in the storms of the world, and hiding one or two sorrows in their seemingly peaceful daily lives. Gu Xiang's strokes seem light and comfortable, but write the weight of life and unwilling.
