Abstract

The short stories written by Chi Zijian always breathe life into the daily trifles of ordinary people with hope and compassion, exploring a spiritual power that overcomes suffering and universal love beyond life and death. Through the mysterious connection between humanity and nature, her stories attempt to paint a landscape of the real world of interconnection and inter-transformation. It is essentially a form of fairy tale narrative. Consequently, the essence of “poetry” is achieved in the dialectical unity between childhood and maturity, lightness and weight, constituting a foundational dimension of the artistic spirit.

Keywords Chi Zijian, fairy tale narrative, poetics
