by Qin Ming
About This Novel
In the vast Qinling Mountains, there is one house and one courtyard. Time is very slow and the days are very long. Peach blossoms and flowing water, pear trees and old houses; deep in the bamboo forest, green smoke rises; under the persimmon trees, chickens crow and dogs bark; beside the firewood pile, mountain people are busy farming. This is a record of the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains. The author spent seven years and walked more than a thousand kilometers, using gentle words to record the current life of the ancient villages on the southern slopes of the Qinling Mountains, telling the story of those villages that bloomed quietly like a paradise. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter change, and humans and nature live in harmony. The relics of ancient farming civilization show a power that seems to make time stand still. In this noisy era, it brings people a profound thought and a pure land for the soul. And the pure land of Far Far Away Village has never been our hometown. Everyone has a name called "hometown" deep in their hearts. And everyone says that my hometown is good, so don't let your old friends grow old in a foreign land.
