Features: The Shadow Series: From the Past depicts highly realistic elements. Although the life background described is one that my generation has not experienced, through its portrayal, it instantly brings to life a forgotten yet striking era! The story begins with the small courtyard of his old home—bamboo doors, pigsty, water pump, oil lamp, old locust tree, dog, cicadas, fleas. He can elevate the seemingly trivial things to grandeur and bring to life the deeply ingrained, subtle influences of his past that have shaped his entire life. Truly extraordinary and masterful. Hes the universal from the particular, finds ideals in reality, and seeks greatness in the ordinary. I believe this is the essence of his meaning!
The Shadow Series introduces a completely new reading format to change readers' reading habits and psychological experiences, offering a unique and enjoyable sense of pleasure. The two individuals in each volume, though their content or form may not align perfectly, trigger readers to actively seek connections between them. Association—when two inherently related things are placed together—lacks interest; but when two separated things are brought together, it creates interest—this kind of interest inspires deeper reflection, sparks more imagination, and invites further questions. This book is part of the series, combining the prose of Cui Zimo with the oil paintings of Wang Yidong. It preserves the stories of Cui Zimo's past, beginning with the small courtyard of his old home—bamboo doors, pigsty, water pump, oil lamp, old locust tree, dog, cicadas, fleas.
