About This Novel
"Ten Miles of Lotus Fragrance and Liu Siqing" is one of the "Nostalgia Essays" edited by Wang Jianbing. It is a collection of Ma Ruifang's essays about family affection, local accent, and nostalgia. It contains 24 essays and 3 appendices. In Ma Ruifang's writings, nostalgia is the deep affection for relatives and friends, and the beautiful memory of a happy life. The works reflect the cultural heritage of the professor writer. Those about relatives such as "Grandfather", "Father's Traces" and "Waiting" are sincere and delicate in description; those about life such as "Pancake Flowers", "Reflection on the Little Kid" and "A Basket of Family Comedies" are humorous and witty; those about fathers (famous people in hometown) For example, "Uncle Yu Xiu", "Uncle Feng and His Books", and "Mr. Tian Zhongji, the Father" focus on descriptions of family interactions, making up for the oversimplification and lack of details in the official history; those depicting hometown style are full of cultural flavor and personal writing characteristics, such as "White Feather Returns Home" and "Pu Songling's Former Residence Essays".
