Features: Xu Guangyao, famous for the novel Little Soldier Zhang Ga, is also skilled in writing prose. The Unfading River, a collection of his finest prose works over 20 years, is a recollection of the author's life experiences as a "lover of humanity." The War of Resistance Against Japan and the "Anti-Rightist Movement" are emotional bonds that Xu could never fully resolve throughout his life. Articles included in the book, such as Days Rolling on the Sharp Edge of Bayonets and Last Night the West Wind Blew the Green Trees, not only shed light on a past that should never be forgotten but also allow readers to taste the author's passion and deep concerns. There are no grandiose or magnificent words here—only a warm and flowing narrative.
