The award-winning work “Echo” makes readers very happy to read. It uses literary elements such as detection and suspense to supplement the knowledge of forensic science and psychology. In a sense, this is a theme work. The novel portrays a female police officer, Ran Dongdong. With her sensitive, delicate and suspicious thinking, she repeatedly solves the mystery of the case, and at the same time overcomes enormous psychological pressure. Finally, with superhuman wisdom and spiritual strength, she will The murderer was brought to justice.
What is also impressive is the innovation in the artistic form of “Echo”. The novel adopts a double-line structure, and another clue juxtaposed with the reality of chasing murderers and solving crimes is the female police officer Ran Dongdong’s love for her husband, the literature professor Mu. The investigation of Duff’s emotional infidelity, compared with the previous main line, this psychological warfare between the two is more internal and more tense, which fully demonstrates the novelist’s language art, narrative talent and insight into the inner feelings of the characters. ability. In the words of the writer Han Shaogong, the “solid details” that “hula-la gushes out” in Dongxi’s novels make his novels “tense and high-energy throughout, forming an impenetrable and climax-like impact.”
The characters in “Echo” groped repeatedly in the dark, but the ending left a light for the readers, which is what the author values most: “My heart needs light too much, especially in the face of various tests. Ran Dongdong’s experience After so many trials, if there is no light, her pursuit will be meaningless. In the past, I liked the ending of tragedy because I believed that hope was bred in despair, but now I like the ending of light because I am afraid of darkness.”

What remains unchanged is that I have always paid attention to the close relationship between creation and reality, and the readability and uniqueness of novels. The details are accurate and vivid, and strive to pursue the novelty of language.”
