Postbox Girl/邮筒姑娘

This book takes Ali, a small town mailbox girl, as the center, and draws a circle in the small town, filled with ordinary people who are like Sisyphus trapped in trivial daily life but moving forward in vain and going back and forth endlessly. Xiwei focuses on the inner world and spiritual hometown of the characters in the changing times from a graceful and delicate female perspective, and invests her individual experience into the huge memory of the times, and finally depicts the wandering and breakthrough of a generation of young people in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

本书以阿莉这一位小镇邮筒姑娘为圆心, 画起了小镇上的一个圆, 填充着各类如西西弗斯一般陷入琐碎日常却又徒劳前进、无限往复的普通人。西维以女性婉约细腻的视角聚焦时代变迁中的人物内心世界、精神故乡, 把自己的个体经验投入到巨大的时代记忆里, 最终描摹出江南小镇一代青年人的漂泊与突围。
