Features: "The Yi Girl, Han Boy" can also be read and enjoyed as a picture book. The text and illustrations complement each other, radiating beautiful colors in a natural harmony. They elegantly merge, opening up limitless perspectives for appreciation and folding in their own emotions. A woman born and raised in Liangshan, after spending over a decade away from it, looks back at her childhood in this book. Liangshan has its own unique colors, deeply rooted in its rich religious atmosphere, connected to the ancient rituals of the Yi people. The Yi society in Liangshan also has its own legends; the Yi people admire heroes, and of course, they are not lacking in the tragic elements that heroes often embody. If written from a different perspective, this could be a heavy story. However, the author handles the weight with ease, intelligently dissolving the heavy imagery, filling the entire reading experience with joy and a sense of liberation. Immersed in it, you are happy. But another emotion slowly rises within you after you close the book and close your eyes, gradually making you fall into silence and speechlessness. In the author's narration, history is drawn, and in the reflection on history, the present is touched. Not only that, in the author's memory, the stories—big and small—that grew and were sung in Liangshan, shrouded in a somewhat mysterious illusion, still cannot erase the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the helplessness of changes, and the desolation of worldly affairs behind them.
