The Xue family in the courtyard held a wedding ceremony, but unexpectedly there was a thrilling scene at the wedding banquet.

A "romantic woman" who had been divorced twice boldly pursued a vice minister. The descendants of the beggars' sect in Beijing went to the wedding banquet to eat and drink, but they didn't want to go to the wedding banquet later He was paralyzed by a quiet old man; a warm-hearted man was boring everywhere; an old man was trembling with anger by a "literary rookie" There are a series of vivid characters in the author's works.

headmaster
The short story teacher in charge, published in 1977, is regarded as the first work of literature in the new era and won the first prize of national excellent short story.
The publication of the novel has aroused strong repercussions from all aspects of society, which is beyond the expectation of people's literature. The Ministry has received no less than thousands of letters from readers from all walks of life, coming from more than 20 provinces and autonomous regions in China. Of course, there are the most letters from the education front, and many middle school students and teenagers write letters accusing them of the damage to their hearts caused by the fascist cultural autocracy of the gang of four. A juvenile criminal in a reform through labor center in a remote mountainous area of Guizhou Province told about his similar experience with song Baoqi, accusing the gang of four of "killing without blood". Now, after reading the article "teacher in charge", he has the intention to repent and start afresh. In a word, the repercussions caused by the "teacher in charge" in all walks of life can not be more appropriately described by the sentence "a stone stirs up a thousand waves". It's a kind of telepathy and resonance. Liu Xinwu's novels touch the readers' deep pain or wake them up, which is the strength of the works and the most successful part of the novel.
bay window
In 2014, the novel Piao Chuang, published by Lijiang publishing house, was regarded as a masterpiece of realism in the past 20 years. Through the bay window, the book unfolds a picture of the river at Qingming Festival, showing the living difficulties, human dignity and mottled scenery of people at all levels.
In Piao Chuang, Liu Xinwu describes nearly 30 characters, including Xue Quji, song hall mummy, fruit dealer, driver and bodyguard, underworld boss, etc. Although there are only more than 100000 words, with numerous clues and ingenious connections, Liu Xinwu shows the living difficulties of contemporary people at all levels and the complexity of human nature. "Some people think that they are very simple, but when they come near, they are not like that at all; while some people's goodness exists in a corner you can't imagine." These people described by Liu Xinwu may be his friends or even old friends, or he has talked with them for a long time on his own initiative, or he has only swayed on his bay window platform, or he has "transferred" them from somewhere. Now, in his works, they show their true face through their life track
