Features: This book is very worth reading, because for the period from 1990 to 1999, there is no more memorable literary masterpiece than Cries in the Drizzle. Alain once said that novels essentially represent a transition from poetry to prose, from appearance to a practical, almost handmade reality. Yu Hua is a pure novelist. No one is better at helping us grasp the history of life within ourselves, from childhood (Cries in the Drizzle) to adulthood (Xu San's Blood), and then to old age (To Live). Therefore, once his books are published, they become shared experiences of humanity. Just as great philosophers summarize all thoughts with a single idea, great novelists, through one person's life and some ordinary things, bring the lives of everyone into their writing.
