Features: Phoenix Countryside is a book that is too profound and difficult to understand. Her simplicity, her elegance, her optimism, her leisure, her closeness to nature, her strong sense of local flavor and human warmth are truly too luxurious for people in this crowded city. All of this seems to have been distant from us for too long. However, in that remote village, they sing and dance, they revere the gods, they are skilled with their hands, and they still repeat lifestyles and rhythms questioned by modern civilization—they "live poetically on this land." With a cup of tea, at night, in some corner of the city, let us savor Phoenix, that remote countryside, that "border town" of the civilized world.
