Leopard Tracks: Related to Memory

About This Novel

This book is Mr. Wu Hong's first recollection of 76 years of personal history. He breaks through the general memoir-style writing and presents to readers neither the real past itself nor the complete fiction of a novel, but a creative reconstruction and imagination of experience, a more free and open "memory writing". He uses fantasy techniques to present the throbbing and nightmare of encountering the flying apsara statue in the Kizil Grottoes mural after surviving a desperate situation; and using a calm and restrained style, he reveals the intricate, pious and peaceful connection between individuals, national treasures, cultural relics, and traditional culture through the theft and recovery of the "Cicada Crown Bodhisattva" statue in the Northern Dynasties. He writes about his memories of life in the ancient city of Beijing when he was a teenager, and also reveals his peeping in books and personal stories with his nanny that were either private or frustrating and embarrassing. Under the clear blue sky, on the shores of Lake Michigan, which is green and purple, he reunited with himself who had regained his study time after the turbulent era, and realized the pursuit of his teachers, friends, and old friends for academic transcendence of politics and personal integrity and independence. Current experiences collide with past memories. "At that moment, we felt that we were all survivors of a madhouse, but many people were not as lucky as we were."
