Vast Sea of human World
by Yan Wensheng
About This Novel
"The Vast Sea of the World" is a new prose book published by writer Yan Wensheng. It is also the fourth work in his long-term "Book of Subjectivity" series. The book takes individual life experience as the main line and shuttles between memory, hometown and wandering. It not only contains delicate memories of the ice and snow of childhood, the life and death of relatives, but also covers the lonely gaze on life in a foreign land, and incorporates profound thoughts on literature, destiny and existence. The author uses poetic and restrained brushstrokes to outline a series of inner scenes of the ups and downs of the world, and to salvage the weight and temperature of life in the vast sea of time. It can be called an epic of life that "faces the pain of life and stares into the abyss of the soul." Yan Wensheng's writing is distinctively creative and spiritual. Starting from October 2012, he took the title "Book of Subjectivity" and lasted 13 years, creating a total of 1.5 Million words, forcibly opening up a path of "philosophical prose". His writing dives deeply into the ocean of life and thought, elevating prose from "writing about life" to "writing about existence", trying to create a new literary species and a way of viewing the world. This sustained and focused creative act is a feat in itself. "The Vast Sea of the World" combines the author's dual advantages of realistic reality and immersion in philosophical thinking. It not only seeks the roots of the body, but also creates an image for the soul. The book uses calm, pure language that can stand the test of time, presenting a picture of the soul about farewell and arrival, loss and reconstruction, and is dedicated to all lonely people walking in the world. Yan Wensheng and his "Subjective Books" series represent a prose writing path that focuses on spirituality, language quality and ideological content. With its broad, powerful and vast scale, this series has defined a rare and profound landscape for the spiritual map of our era, and also contributed a unique and far-reaching voice to the palace of Chinese prose.
