Features: In the author's portrayal, "the East" is always a mysterious and enduring allure, an endless and beautiful dream that never ceases. Through the love and hatred spanning generations of an ordinary family in an ancient city over a century, the work reflects the unique spirit, ethics, morals, history, and profound cultural essence of "the East." The author adopts a modern perspective, selecting fragments of history and reality to showcase the authentic yet dreamlike qualities of the East in everyday life, allowing readers to experience the beauty and moving warmth of the human world. The story and legend, reality and memory, imagery and symbolism, flashbacks and gazes, narration and description intertwine, creating a rich and free, realistic and expressive, passionate yet melancholic, profound yet moving tapestry.
