Features: When writing, there is no desire. When writing, one only wants to draw out the feelings deeply hidden in the heart, and only hopes to carefully organize this part of life that is extremely cherished. That is all. The distance from ambition and the quality of creation are not necessarily related. Moreover, no matter what kind of work is created, after completion, it can only be left to time and the audience to make selections. Any words are superfluous. To maintain eternal silence towards one's own work is a right and virtue that a creator should possess. In youth, the shadows in the heart came from the confusion about the future. Everything was without revelation or sign. Yes, on such a beautiful night, life can hold the moonlight, yet it must also contain a transparent wound at the same time. Xi Murong is the youth memory of a generation. She constructs a world that is beautiful, enchanting, and deeply moving. In the 1980s and 1990s, her poetry collections were wildly popular in mainland China, influencing a generation's growth and views on love. "The Collected Works of Xi Murong" includes two essay collections: Home Under the Maple Tree and Transparent Grief, and one poetry collection: On the Dark River. The poems are melancholic and beautiful, while the essays are exquisite and profound. The collected works are comprehensive and complete, nearly encompassing all of Xi Murong's classic works. Through meticulous arrangement and design, this series of books will dredge up the most precious youth memories for those who were once moved by Xi Murong, and will also bring a sense of distance yet within reach to those who have never read her works.
