Sun Chunping 
Fake Marriages 

The book is a collection of Sun Chunping, a writer from northeast China. Adept at depicting nobodies and producing mininovels, Sun Chunping details the life stories of people of all strata in contemporary cities, featuring the delicate and mature styles. Telling the urban stories with ease and calm, Sun Chunping explores the possibilities and boundaries of people. With the pitiful yet not sorrowful moral practices, the author conscientiously focuses on the grassroots people in cities. What the book talks about are merely all mortal beings in cities, and they are just the silhouettes among the grand tides of the era, yet giving rise to a world history of ordinary people and wonderful scenes of urban legends.
