That Place

About This Novel
"That Place", a collection of essays by actor Guo Xiaodong, is a sincere work that sheds its halo and returns to its true nature. The book has 32 essays and 32 soul resonances. With delicate and simple writing, it traces the growth trajectory from rural Shandong to the world stage - the tranquility and beauty of the countryside in childhood, the hardship and helplessness of working life, and the confused perseverance during the years of drifting to Beijing. "That place" is not only my hometown in the geographical sense, but also the origin and concern that we cannot return to; it is also a safe haven in confusion and hardship, giving us warmth and strength; and it is also the spiritual destination that we are looking for throughout our lives to bring peace of mind to our souls. There are no legends or adventures in this book. It only tells how an ordinary person relied on his indomitable resilience to find a way step by step in a place where there seemed to be no way. This is not only the growth history of a person, but also the spiritual map of a generation. Dedicated to all you who stumble on the road of life but never give up.
