Send Tourists

About This Novel
"Sending Travelers" is the first novel of young writer Wu Chun. The author uses his imagination to construct a polyphonic narrative labyrinth full of creativity: while writing a new novel, the writer, who cannot type, found six scribes to enter the contents of the novel manuscript into documents, but then discovered that part of the manuscript was missing. "I", one of the scribes, accepted the writer's commission to help her find the person who stole the manuscript - "I" and the writer named it the search for G. During the investigation, "I" met several scribes one after another. Unexpectedly, the scribes seemed to have their own thoughts, and they were all people with explicit and implicit connections to Chaoshan: historians, young dropouts, elderly people living alone, descendants of the Wu family looking for their missing lovers, mysterious Internet girls... "I" seemed to have entered a confusing maze, undergoing a narrative experience of identity replacement: Why did G steal the writer's manuscript? What exactly was written on the stolen manuscript? "The Traveler" is a web of language woven by the author with his own unique style of delicate, charming and leaping words, sifting out the darkness and aura of dreams and reality, history and memory. It is also his warm response to the world, people, Lingnan customs, complicated life and broader knowledge and interests.
