About This Novel

Lushan Mountain is not a mountain, but a storage container of dreams. Everyone who climbs Mount Lushan will have their dreams remembered-- Thousands of years later, those dreams began to revive and transformed into a "city in the clouds." When Jiang Miaomiao, a graduate student in archeology, was investigating the Lushan inscription, he accidentally triggered the "reflection phenomenon": the words on the stele lit up, and the mountain was breathing. She was drawn into a world built by human dreams, and met Mr. Bai Lu, the Tsing Yi poet and countless sleeping souls in the depths of the dream. She gradually discovered that Lushan was preserving the soul of human civilization through dreams, and she was the "dreamkeeper" who was dreamed by the mountain. "A City in the Clouds" is an oriental poetic novel that combines fantasy and philosophy. It uses "dream" as the core metaphor to explore the relationship between memory, forgetting and existence. Between the archeology of reality and the dream book of fantasy, the work presents a "civilized soul map": Dreams are fire, language, and light passed down from generation to generation. The structure of the novel progresses layer by layer, combining poetic language and humanistic warmth. From archaeological scenes to dream wonders, from individual emotions to cultural introspection, A journey about "how people are remembered" from a female perspective. When dreams and reality overlap, Jiang Miaomiao finally understands-- The meaning of dream-keeping is not to escape from the world, but to remember it tenderly. Lushan is dreaming, and people are also dreaming. Dreams will remember people.
