Features: This is a young adult novel crafted by Cao Wenxuan from his 400,000-word masterpiece Red Tiles (which won the National Book Award and Beijing Literature and Art Award). From the perspective of its content and life, it can be considered a sequel to Grass House. The novel is set in Youma Village and poetically depicts the rustic charm of past rural life from the viewpoint of a middle school student, delicately recording the growth journey of young boys and girls as they gradually understand life. The plot of the book rises and falls dramatically, stirring the heart, with care and affection lingering between the lines. The wind blows the letter, producing crisp and monotonous rustling of paper. Later, I threw it into the big river. It floated with the stream, twinkling and moving away behind me were the rooms of Hongli and the black-tiled houses, the eternal red-tiled houses and the eternal black-tiled houses.
