Features: At the age of nine, I died in this pit once. When I was a child, every summer, I had to stay at my grandmother's house for twenty days. That village was called Jiuliwan. If you leave our small town and head northeast, you'll have to turn left and right, zigzagging all the way, until you're almost dizzy, and then you'll see this pit. Every village has a pit, and they are all on the north side of the village. But Jiuliwan's pit, for some reason, is on the south side of the village. Sun Li: I once told someone that there was a Li Guanjun in Shandong whose novels had a unique style. The other day, it snowed heavily in Tianjin. The snow not only made the environment clean but also made people's hearts clean. Last night, I sat by the fireplace, standing under the light, and finished reading your novel. My appreciation for your artistic expression almost reached the point of clapping in admiration. Mo Yan: Guanjun has been writing with composure for more than twenty years, achieving remarkable results. He learned traditional Chinese medicine in his youth and was familiar with the yin and yang. His novels are full of both the real and the imaginary, with a lofty realm and a profound cultural heritage, reaching a considerable height that is worth me learning from.: Elegant and gentle language style, a misty realm where the real and the imaginary intertwine. The heart's plea, as if the cuckoo bird is weeping, for a kind and benevolent spiritual home. Wu Yiqin: Reality and absurdity, fable and symbolism, the real and the illusory, the inner and the outer, are all blended seamlessly; the ingenuity of the plot, the skill of the narration, and the maturity of the language are all admirable.
