The Country is Magnificent and the People Are Heroic: Selected Essays by Tan Tan

About This Novel
When Mr. Tan Tan was nearly eighty years old, he traveled around the motherland, collecting stories, visiting, and conducting inspections. His footprints were all over his hometown where he was born and raised, Yunnan and Guizhou where he lived, poverty-stricken villages, and prosperous cities. The things he talked about, the places he talked about, and the people he wrote about were real, true, and sincere. This enthusiasm and passion of an old man without losing the madness of a young man comes from the love for life and the strong will that has been tempered by hardships to refuse to admit defeat or retreat. It comes from the great sentiment of "a foreign country is also a hometown" and starts from the responsibility of caring for the people and keeping in step with the times.
