Features: The folk paintings, landscapes, and customs of the Northwest, composed of images such as blue skies, white clouds, oases, deserts, sand and rocks, vast deserts, long rivers, Yangguan, flying apsaras, wheat waves, snowfields, orchards, forests, and ancient Great Wall, have become a distinct regional identifier in Shao Zhenquan's literary creations. Shao Zhenquan is a writer who consistently adheres to his own style. He cannot and will not follow the trends of the current wave of young writers who rise and fall dramatically and become wildly popular. It is precisely because there are still writers like him who uphold their artistic styles and thoughts that the pure literary front in China has retained a steady green, and that the eternal vitality of art in literature has been preserved. This book collects several works by Shao Zhenquan, including Hequ·Sunset and Sunrise Again, Bird's Tongue, Faraway Couple, Big Water River, and Hawthorn. The folk paintings of the Northwest and the rich regional colors permeate the works, even as a reader far away in Jiangnan can still find aesthetic satisfaction.
