I still remember the variety show that I always heard about a while ago, and the couple who encountered a crisis of feelings came to the show to travel together, hoping to bridge the rift in the abnormal state. Exposing the intimate relationship in front of the camera, but it is inevitable to be broken and embarrassing, out of shape. In the new book 012 "Moon", the relationship between men and women is described in one sentence: "One person needs patience and longing for lasting love for another person who has nothing to do with another person, a man to a woman." ”
In his second collection of short stories, "The Moon", Guo Shuang also recounts many groups of relationships: men and women, us and our fathers, reason and instinct, rules and boundaries, disease and health, morality and betrayal, lowliness and nobility, suffering and superiority...
"Social terror" has become a popular word, and "black and white" has become the fastest way to travel through the Internet. Guo Shuang went to these relationships alone, using the novel without hesitation to reach the border. She saw everyone's subtle psychology in unpredictable circumstances, hidden pain, and, serene freedom.
It is difficult to solve the crisis by relying on the favor of a sudden arrival of fate, and "Moon" provides us with a longer period of experience. In our relationships with others, our memories, and our societies, we are aware of the boundaries of life, define ourselves in them, and in doing so we regain our freedom.

Guo Shuang is fascinated by various relationships, and because of the difficulties of modern society, he is entangled in them.

The first novel included in "The Moon" is also related to a news event and a changing journalism.
The booming entertainment industry, the increasingly solid class differences, the insurmountable generational divide, the virtual world that has become the outlet of the spirit, and so on, the changes that have emerged in modern society have become part of the story through the techniques of the novel, and at the same time, literature has become the spear that intervenes in reality. We are such young people:
In the future, he can fly and jump in the map again and again, but it is not as good as the silent happiness of moving forward step by step at this moment. In video games, the blood runs out, and the character is always reborn in place at the same second of disappearing. Besides, he wasn't alone. He had real friends. In the golden light of the setting sun, in the particles of pink air, the writer, who was more unfortunate and fortunate than them, looked at them and watched them weave the lightest and toughest web with their silent vows, and this would hold them. ”
"Moon" is the intersection of deep problem awareness and flexible fiction art. This time, Guo Shuang tried to observe people more seriously, exploring their complex motives and inner worlds more deeply.
