In the 1980s, she stood out in the literary world with the novel century disease, which described the depression and loneliness of the uncertain young people and the rebellion against the closed and rigid traditional order. Her important works are concentrated in the 1990s. After the publication of such works as "cheers to the past" and "nowhere to say goodbye", her novels tend to be more psychological and philosophical, especially those novels such as "empty window", "time and cage", "Witch and the door of her dream". Those unique and strange narrative ways and bold and strange imagination make her novels unique. In the middle and late 1990s, her novels and a series of prose essays show a strong "edge psychology" and female consciousness, such as the tapping of the other ear and breaking. Most of them take the life of modern women as the background to express the antagonistic relationship between people and the world. Especially after the novel private life, it caused a great shock in the literary world, and various newspapers published book reviews one after another. This novel emphasizes the story and philosophical thinking, explores the potential and subtle evolution of modern Chinese women's consciousness, and reflects the complex social life. The book's sales broke the long-standing decline of the pioneer novel distribution market, with a total of more than 200000 copies.

Indescribable

Appreciation of representative works

The divorced man

Chen Ran's writing career has lasted for nearly 20 years. Her writing has always been a representative of the most intense pursuit of the secret expression of personal world in Chinese literature. She always lives in a highly personal world, never succumbs to the impact and pressure of the outside world, and does not bow to her loneliness. She always keeps watch in her heart and tries to find out the boundary between her heart and the outside. Her works have a strong desire to talk from the heart of the individual, but also the desire to constantly clean up personal memory. On the one hand, she opens her inner world to the readers, issues inquiries to the external others, and expects to be understood and recognized by the others. On the other hand, she constantly refuses the impact and intrusion of the external world, which strengthens her personal participation in the society
