The Love of Roots and Rivers
by Ye Mei
About This Novel
Ye Mei has deep feelings and true intentions. In thirty-eight prose pieces, she freely and effortlessly displays the scenery encountered along the way and the life trajectories of the Tujia and other ethnic minorities. No matter the season, the size of the strokes, the joys and sorrows of the world, the sweet and sour taste, the sincerity, the refreshing, the words are filled with the fragrance of life and the strong spiritual power. What's even more rare is the kind of goodwill in her bones that is revealed in her words, towards nature and people. Ye Mei's prose does not show off the words, nor is it deliberately sculpted. It integrates descriptions of emotions, descriptions, and narratives. It is true, clear, simple and graceful, and the real interest can be seen in the natural simplicity. And she is a person who is good at narration. She can vividly describe a person or a story in a few strokes, and vividly paint the personality of a river or a mountain. The scenery and customs are completely different, which makes people yearn for it. They long to go to the Three Gorges, Enshi in Western Hubei, Badong, Jiuwan River, Longchuan River and all the places she has described.
