About This Novel
We have traveled through mountains and rivers, encountered thousands of years of civilization, and placed our sincere hearts in our hearts. This is not a simple travelogue, it is a journey of cultural roots across time and space. The author measures China with his footsteps, from the elegance of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River to the vastness of the windy sand in the north; from the contemplation under the red walls of the Forbidden City to the shock in front of the Dunhuang Grottoes; from the majesty of the rushing Three Gorges to the tranquility of the Huizhou alleys... These mountains and waters are not distant geographical coordinates, but cultural symbols that carry the memory of China and flow in the blood of the nation. In the book, every brick and tile has a story, and every river and river has its own spirituality. The author depicts the scenery with delicate and affectionate brushstrokes, and also interprets the historical accumulation and humanistic spirit behind the scenery. What he witnessed was the majesty and profundity of Chinese culture; what he felt was the weight and long-lasting feelings of family and country. Ultimately, all outward journeys are inward journeys. This heart finds its own cultural identity and spiritual homeland in the baptism of mountains and rivers and the dialogue between civilizations. This is a vivid answer to "Why China" and an affectionate letter home to all Chinese people. Dedicated to every Chinese who walks in the mountains and rivers and is attached to the tradition. I hope that in this book, you can see the heaven and the earth, see all living beings, and finally meet the timeless original heart of China.
