The Tree is Like This
by Bai Xianyong
About This Novel
"Trees Are Like This" is a self-selected collection of Bai Xianyong's essays, which mainly includes articles in which he recalls his personal experiences and interactions with relatives and friends. Among them, "The Tree Is Like This", which commemorates a deceased friend, has been deeply painful for six years. It is called "a song of life completed with blood, tears and the purest emotions in the world." Also included are two new works about friends: "Looking for the Bodhi Tree" by the painter Xi Song on his journey to practice Buddhism, and "Practice the Bodhisattva" by Du Cong, who rescued tens of thousands of AIDS orphans. This shows what Bai Xianyong has been thinking about in recent years. Most of the works in the book were written after Bai Xianyong "knows destiny at fifty". Dong Qiao was once "surprised that he was already like an old monk who was at ease and let go, letting a fallen flower silently exude instant brilliance in his palm." Written to my friends Wang Guoxiang and my third sister Xianming, the simplicity contains magnificence and compassion for the world. Guilin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Taipei, cultural nostalgia is superimposed, making it difficult to find a place to return. In the fan magazine "Modern Literature" where he devoted his efforts and youth, Bai Xianyong used literature to make friends, and his love lasted a lifetime.

Love only one person in your life, and that person happens to love you too
A best friend and a lover
It's really shocking that real literature has become so neglected
When I saw Mr. Wang Guoxiang's last birthday before his death, I thought that before my mentor died of illness, he was waiting for me to come back to his hometown to celebrate my birthday. In a flash, it has been more than ten years.??????
People who understand me in a good book bag
The Stone City has stood for thousands of years, and human history has been like a pebble thrown into a turbulent and vast sea on the long river of time, unable to stir up a splash of water. But people live in the present, regardless of their past and future lives. Only when they understand this life can they truly understand.

Looks pretty good.
The character descriptions are thorough and vivid, and the images are extremely profound. I especially like the poems and novels mentioned in the book. It's a good book.
The tree is like this, who can call it?
I especially hope to see "The Peony Pavilion" once
Good book, worth reading.
