"Li Zishu returns to the familiar subject of life in a Malaysian Chinese town, immersing herself in the lives of ordinary people and sharing their joys and sorrows. We can regard "Vulgar Land" as a work in which the novelist demonstrates her basic narrative skills without any gimmicks, yet achieves a superb result.
