Li Oufan: life as a fox

Gu Yun

Li Oufan as "the other"

Reading is like taking the subway. You have to pass by one station after another before you reach the destination. For me, Li Oufan is also a website. The old friend green tea, who was once infatuated with Li Oufan and had never met him, sent the novel fan Liuyuan confessions. On the hardwood sofa in my hometown study, I fell in love with the words of this small book. Now, in my apartment thousands of miles away, I think of the time when I could study in peace, and I feel as if I have been separated from the rest of the world. Although that was only 2001.

Later, as long as you see Li Oufan's books, you can't help buying them. They include shouting in the iron house, talking in the fox hole, Oriental hunter, Shanghai modern and so on. They include academic papers, cultural essays and novels. I bought several more copies of the fox hole rave as a gift. One of them was given to an unknown Hangzhou girl. She left a message on the Internet to find the book and asked for the address to send it to her. She gave back a set of genuine CDs of Huang Lei. Back and forth through a few e-mails, they will be mixed up in the vast "Internet sea".

This is also a Book relationship with Mr. Li Oufan. Now I want to come, but it's a little puzzling. How do you like it
