A Corner of Elegance

About This Novel

The northeast corner of Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, is an elegant corner. It is the hometown of the author Lu Shuyuan and the place where he studied. This book is divided into two parts: "Hometown" and "Alma Mater", telling the historical and cultural heritage of Kaifeng Fengyun and the humanistic spirit inherited by Henan University for hundreds of years. The soil, river water, air, and turmoil of the times in his hometown gave birth to the author's nature and soul; the appearance, demeanor, knowledge, and feelings of the teachers at his alma mater set an example for him as a person and as a scholar. The author claims that the growth and changes, the ups and downs, the hesitation and entanglement, the joys and sorrows over the past eighty years have all evolved on the basis of his hometown and alma mater. The more than 200,000 words and more than 200 pictures in the book are the memories of this place, the land, and these years. It is not only a private collection deep in the author's heart, but also reflects the cloud shadows and sky lights of the past era. The words in the book are scattered and casual, such as walking in the fields, listening to birds in the forest, visiting the stream in midsummer, and chatting in the middle of winter. Facing the current ultra-high-speed electronic age, the rich rural sentiments and nostalgia in the lines are like a shadow fluttering under the scorching sun or a hint of coolness blowing in the hot wind. Half a volume of idle books and a pot of tea, quietly watching the flowing water sending away the falling flowers. For friends who are destined to meet each other, this should be a "idle book" to pass the time.
