Imagine City
About This Novel
This book is a collection of Chen Pingyuan's articles about his "urban research". Although he prides himself on being "incapable of creation", he is "deliberate in promoting cities as an academic topic". He focused on Beijing, Xi'an, Kaifeng, Hong Kong and other cities full of historical entanglements and cultural accumulation, or asked why Lu Xun did not write "Yang Guifei" during his trip to Xi'an, or explored the Kaifeng writings of Zhang Changgong and his son, or revealed the melodious memories of two generations of Hong Kong cultural figures, Ye Lingfeng and Li Oufan... In short, in the essay, he discusses the past and present in the history, and makes suggestions on the current urban situation. From a macro perspective, he can quite see the "human feelings" he pursues.
