Features: Master of mystery novels, highly recommended by Zhang Baorui, the original author of "Plum Blossom Files"! Across fifty years of tumultuous changes, it records the life journeys of three sisters. Gu Yue is a painter who advocates classicalism and adheres to realism, with strong skills in shaping, color perception, and various techniques. On him, we seem to see Rembrandt's profound light and color, the romanticism of Géricault's "The Raft of the Medusa," and the shadow of the "Russian Wanderers." Yet his works are clearly Eastern. He is not only a painter but also a thinker. His works have transcended national boundaries, showing us the journey of a vibrant nation moving steadily toward civilization amid countless wounds. —Jane Spruit (Dutch art critic, Director of the Van Gogh Museum)
"The Dust" depicts the most tumultuous period in our nation's 20th century history. The novel begins with the three beautiful daughters of a butcher, vividly portraying the joys and sorrows of ordinary people over more than half a century in a turbulent, passionate, and chaotic world. In that unpredictable and chaotic world, they could not control the times, nor even themselves in confusion. Even with moving pursuits, they could only roll like tiny specks of dust in the ever-changing winds and clouds.
