A life or suite with three bedrooms, one living room and one dining room
三室两厅 (“Three Bedrooms and Two Living Rooms") is Han Bo’s first novel. The book uses this interior layout as the frame for an experimental form novel. It is a non-linear narrative text presented in the form of a novel. The work is divided into five parts: three rooms ("fictional room", "non-fictional room" and "anti-fictional room") and two halls ("black hall" and "soft hall"), each with their specific time background and five different spatial areas.
Through fiction, non-fiction, drama fragments, literary narratives, travel notes, poetry and other texts interspersed, crossed, mixed, and concatenated, it shows that the society of the era is rapidly turning, as it follows the younger generation of intellectuals. The novel uses "I" as the dual identity perspective of observer and participant, connecting the encounters of several "gentlemen" such as Mr. Hu, Mr. Han, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Ma.
