by Shi Shuqing
About This Novel
This book selects ten of Shi Shuqing's most representative works, using several cities in the northwest as the background to depict the richness and warmth of rural life in the northwest. From the compassion of the old cow dying in "The Knife in the Clear Water" to the old man's obsession with paying off his debt in "Twilight"; from the couple's watch over the fruit trees in "The Fruit Courtyard" to the absurd lawsuits in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China in "Eight Cases from the Past"... Shi Shuqing writes about life and death, faith, the absurdity and solemnity of fate, and the struggle and dignity of small people on barren land with almost line drawings. Each article is a painting of northwest scenery, and each sentence hides the hot heart.
