Tian Peng Quhua Lu is undoubtedly a collection of short stories. Each story is an independent life, yet there are tangible and intangible organic connections between them, playing roles such as initiation, influence, contrast, echo, and mutual illumination. The book seems to be constructed as a long scroll in the form of a character gallery, with short stories serving as cells. Here, we see the author's "conscious intent" beneath the surface's "casualness." Reading through the stories one by one, you will find these fragments of souls gradually gathering toward the overall direction of the "Agricultural Guidance Soul," revealing the holistic outline of the Chinese farmer's soul and highlighting the chronic, deep-seated illnesses in the subconscious.
