Chinese Literary Work Goes Global: 100 Ways to Get You Now Available on Amazon

A new English-language edition of Cui Xiaorui’s Chinese short-story collection 100 Ways to Get You has been published by Jade Lotus Press (JLP; https://jlla.ink) and is now available on Amazon, introducing international readers to a contemporary literary work previously featured in Forbes China’s cultural recommendations.

Originally published in China in 2020, the collection explores modern relationships, communication, memory, and self-discovery through a varied landscape of everyday situations—from workplaces, cafés, and airports to digital spaces and the private moments in which people confront their own emotions.

Moving beyond conventional romance narratives, the stories offer thoughtful observations on human connection and personal growth. The title is metaphorical rather than literal: the “100 ways” represent the countless, often unspoken paths through which people seek to understand and reach one another.

Cui Xiaorui is a member of the Shanghai Writers Association. Her novella AI Continuation: City of Generations was selected for the 2020 Shenzhen–Hong Kong Biennale anthology Nine Cities, Ten Thousand Futures, curated by science-fiction author Liu Cixin, and received the anthology’s Jury Award.

As Chinese cultural exchange continues to expand, intimate contemporary writing is emerging as a distinctive medium alongside the classic literature that has historically defined Chinese books abroad. 100 Ways to Get You speaks to that shift—rooted in modern Chinese urban life while engaging themes of longing, identity, and human connection that translate across borders.

Speaking about the English-language edition’s release, Cui Xiaorui said: “Communication and self-discovery are universal, no matter where you are in the world. I hope this book lets international readers feel the gentle power of contemporary Chinese writing.”

100 Ways to Get You is available now on Amazon’s Kindle platform and participating international marketplaces.
