Features: In a small mountain town called "The Valley of Eternity," a 16-year-old girl lives there with a priest and a widow who runs a dance hall. The girl has no reason to believe that the bodies of the dead are buried in the garden, so she begins to dig in the soil of the garden for traces of death. Day after day of digging, in the end, she faces the destruction of the beautiful garden, the decline of life, the ruin of life, and even the decline of the entire city, yet the bodies never appear. The garden eventually becomes a cemetery, a historical backdrop of the air, a blurred spatial coordinate, and a pervasive atmosphere of allegory. The ordinary story radiates a strange mist, and the work's persistent and magical style makes this trilogy a highly acclaimed heavyweight in the Western literary world.
