Features: This is the work that Zhang Wei has honed over three decades of creative experience. It is the most competitive and groundbreaking among his ten published novels, including The Ancient Ship, Bai Hui, The September Fable, The Family, and others. It can be called a remarkable book. The novel weaves a tapestry of love, hatred, separation, and reunion spanning over forty years for its male and female protagonists, Liao Mai and Mei Di, as its vertical thread, while the hundred-year history of the coastal wilderness and primeval forest serves as its horizontal one, creating a series of fantastical and thought-provoking legendary stories. It is rich in allegorical elements while also highlighting sharp real-life conflicts. The portrayal of eccentric love and the wild creatures of the wilderness are seamlessly blended, painting vibrant and vivid canvases brimming with powerful life force and untamed wilderness. The narrative style of the novel epitomizes Zhang Wei's romantic spirit and profound philosophical reflections. The language is concise and vivid, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.
