Features: Notes from Baxi Dong. Those seemingly immense joys or sorrows, memories or forgetfulness, achievements or regrets, once entered into the coordinates of longitude and latitude, once placed under the gaze of a high-altitude overview, would vanish without a trace in the silent mountains and rivers, as if they had never happened and would never happen. During his seven years in the countryside, Han Shao Gong first narrated his life of seclusion. In the book "South of Mountains, North of Waters," Han Shao Gong records his profound observations of the wild nature and the grassroots of the folk. The vivid characters, miraculous personal experiences, revelations of historical truths, and probing questions that directly touch the heart all contribute to the sharp yet gentle style of the work. This is a book that constantly raises questions about life and culture, and an alternative spiritual report by an eyewitness challenging the mainstream of ideological consciousness. Those seemingly immense joys or sorrows, memories or forgetfulness, achievements or regrets, once entered into the coordinates of longitude or latitude, once placed under the gaze of a high-altitude overview, would vanish without a trace in the silent mountains and rivers, as if they had never happened and would never happen.
