文学是反映社会灵魂的镜子,向我们展示其美丽与缺陷。
"Literature is the mirror that reflects the soul of society, showing us both its beauty and its flaws."
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't and then tries the short story which is the most demanding form after poetry. And failing at that, only then does he turn to the novel.
