《氯水人鱼》【内容简介】
荒诞与恐惧糅合，日常与幻想交错，
写就氯水、汗水、血水相融而成的灼热体验。
人类女孩壬·余的每一日始于泳池，终于泳池。如果她游得足够好，足够快，许诺她的美好一切就会出现——名牌大学的录取、父母的宠爱、教练的倚重、光明的未来。
他们说：吃得苦中苦，方为人上人。
他们说：痛，就是软弱正在离开身体。
期待的重量、成长的残暴、生而为女的困境种种加之于她身。无处不痛，无时无刻不痛。她只能潜入泳池中逃离。身体触及氯水的刹那，裙摆变成鱼尾，皮肤化作鱼鳞。
人鱼不是天生的，我们是被造就的。
血腥、凶残、生猛，一如人类女孩长成的每一步。

"Chlorine Water Mermaid" 【 Content Introduction 】
The absurd and the fearful, the everyday and the fantasy,
Write about the searing experience of chlorine water, sweat, blood and water.
Every day for human girl Ren Yu starts in the pool and ends in the pool. If she swims well enough, fast enough, all the good things promised to her will appear - admission to a prestigious university, the love of her parents, the strength of her coach, a bright future.
They say, "To be bitter is to be a master."
They say: Pain is weakness leaving the body.
The weight of expectation, the brutality of growing up, the plight of being born a woman were all imposed on her. It hurts everywhere, all the time. She had to dive into the pool to escape. When the body touches the chlorine water, the skirt becomes a fish tail and the skin becomes a fish scale.
Mermaids are not born. We are made.
Bloody, murderous, fierce, like every step of a human girl's life.
