The book "Left Chest"

Silent Left Chest is a book published by Jiangsu Literature and Art Publishing House 1996 by Chen Ran.

Content introduction

The protagonist "I" once saw a legend about breasts in the tabloids-there is such a custom in a minority tribe in the southern frontier. A woman's right breast is no longer a private part, but can be openly touched like a hand. When men come to show friendship to a woman, they reach out and touch her right breast. However, a woman's left breast is listed as a sacred forbidden area and can't be touched at will. Only her lover can touch it.

So "I" called my left breast "Miss Silence" and my right breast "Mr. Talk".

The left chest maintains dreams and thoughts, and the right chest solves ordinary desires as an ordinary person. So the tragedy is reflected here: a woman with identity and brains is always so difficult and incomplete even if she prefers to "split" and be liberated from her thinking and identity.

Pain and contradiction are born, just like shadows, as long as the "silent left chest" still stands on your left chest.
