Forest Silence
About This Novel
In the vast forests of the Gulu Mountains in northern Hubei, there are many strange peaks, hundreds of animals roaming, and all things growing. Grandfather Ji Laoquan, uncle Magu and Houwa, three generations of the family, lived a hard and peaceful life like the mountain people who have lived here for generations, until the village chief brought the news that Tianyin Airport was about to break ground here. This is a historic moment. From then on, people are noisy and the forest is silent: wild animals begin to flee, villages begin to be demolished, rivers begin to be dammed, and forests begin to fall. The heavy tracks of bulldozers bury seeds and roots that have lived for thousands of years into the ground, and they will last forever. No longer growing... Grandfather said that without fields, there must be people alive, so uncle Magu and Houwa left Yichang to find a way out in the city. At the same time, the female doctor Hua Xian came to the forest alone. The depression she couldn't get rid of was related to the entanglement of fame and fortune in the academic circle. Chen Yingsong, a famous writer in Hubei Province, uses a romantic picture of all living beings rising in the "eight hundred miles of strange mountains" in the Chu region to create a poem for nature and speak for the forest, reaffirming the "forest stance" of literature and questioning the sorrow of reality. After all the dust is gone, the Cangshan Mountains will never grow old, and the silent forest contains the hope of salvation. Every plant, tree, bird and beast there has its own dignity. With this magnificent and beautiful novel, Chen Yingsong completed his declaration of entry into the forest, and also gave Chinese literature a forest that confronts the noisy world.
