Features: Renowned female writer Chen Ruilin, who has lived in the United States, turned her attention to the global stage after publishing "Walking to the Ends of the Earth—My Days in America" in 1998. She traveled the world while dedicating herself to writing. After five years of meticulous editing and refinement, she finally presents the selected edition of her overseas travelogue, "A Secret Month in Paris," to readers. "A Secret Month in Paris" is a collection of exquisite essays from Chen Ruilin's recent works. If "Walking to the Ends of the Earth" only depicts the hardships and landscapes of her time in the United States, then "A Secret Month in Paris" more broadly portrays her vivid experiences as she navigates the temporal and spatial realms of East and West. The text of the book is profound, concise, and full of imagination, shining with the rationality of a scholar and the lyrical expression of a prose writer. Sincere yearning, an open-minded perspective, and a discerning eye for beauty and goodness form the harmonious artistic style of this book.
