Author: Guan Shan
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2001-01-01
Features: Unlike the historical image of great figures, the voices from the social bottom often appear in the form of collective discourse, which may lead us to lose the understanding and appreciation of individual language. Therefore, it is more often relegated to the background. The author of this book spent a whole year wandering among the lower strata of society, conversing with ordinary people of various professions and livelihoods, exploring their inner worlds, and sorting out the emotional threads that had always been unclear. Perhaps while reading this book, you will for the first time discover that the "society we live in is the most turbulent and complex period in the entire history development of China." Have we overlooked the real side of the world as we rush along?
