Features: The author says in the book, "This is an eternal landscape. The memories that accompanied my childhood and youth are in this field and village. Like ink strokes that have just fallen on Xuan paper, they stain and spread in the heart of an outsider. The rice flowers and frog calls, the stone bridges and rivers, the reeds and bird songs, the wheat ears and morning glow—each flash before my eyes. Yet I close my eyes in such memories and imagination. This nightmare swirls like a giant black island above the beautiful plain, carving dark shadows of things best left unremembered into the memories of my childhood. While the novel depicts yesterday's history, the beautiful homeland, and the suffering land, it also echoes with a spirit of universal love and romantic sentiments from beginning to end. The emotion you feel for this book is the emotion of history, the emotion of life, and also the emotion of art."
