Hometown on the Earth (works by Liu Liangcheng)
About This Novel
"The years here are clearly countable, allowing you to live so clearly and peacefully. In this village, I feel my own age year by year, and I also feel the prosperity and aging of all things in the world. In my eyes that are gradually becoming dim, I see the leaves around me getting older, the raindrops on the eaves getting older, the insects getting older, the clouds in the sky getting older, and the sound of the wind blowing through the valley also becomes clearer. "Out of old age, this is the hometown on the earth where everything will grow old." Caizigou Village is full of stories: waking up to the crow of the cock, working at sunrise, plowing and reading, talking about earthly things to the sky; watching the crows having a meeting in the tree, waiting for a mouse to die of old age, the smell of dreams being smelled by a dog; imagining a hillside full of windows, caring about food and harvest, and growing old slowly under a big tree. These stories floating in the air and ignored by others are all major events in his life. The world is also a bigger Caizigou Village. The Xinjiang rice on the long journey soothes the tired mind and body of the traveler; a more than 300 kilometers of cattle and sheep transition road, millions of livestock walk along it every year, stretching for thousands of years; all the etiquette in life, borrowed from unknown old people, seems to be a rehearsal for the final grand funeral... Peace of mind is home, flowers bloom and fall, life and death are busy, we will eventually live as our own hometown.
