"Šajā ķīniešu mūsdienu rakstnieka, Nobela prēmijas laureāta, Mo Jeņa krājumā apkopotie stāsti ir niecīga daļa no ķīniešu valodā publicētajiem darbiem, stāstu varoņi ir pieticīgi, necer uz daudz labāku nākotni, taču mēģina izdzīvot. Tomēr visvairāk šajā grāmatā lasītājs novērtēs Mo Jeņa tiešo un patieso ķīniskumu, kas ļauj gūt nepastarpinātu, autentisku iespaidu par ķīniešu dzīvi un pasaules uzskatiem bez romantizācijas, ar ko bieži vien modernā rietumu pasaule apveltī Austrumus." Raimonds Jaks, tulkotājs.
