Notes on a Trip to Hunan
by Shen Congwen
About This Novel
"Prose Notes on a Journey to Hunan" is a masterpiece among Shen Congwen's prose works, with a lively folk flavor. In 1934, Shen Congwen returned to his hometown and saw devastation and the beautiful countryside turned into a withered scene. He was so sad that he wrote these words along the way to express his "silent sorrow". In the book, the author meticulously details his childhood, his past events, and what he saw on the waterfront of the ship during his long journey. Dozens of love letters between the talented Shen Congwen and Zhang Zhaohe are scattered among them. The writing style of the book is natural and simple, like flowing clouds and flowing water. The charming "Western Hunan World" and simple style constitute a complete artistic world.

The teacher asked me to read it and write my thoughts after reading it. It's really boring.
The teacher asked me to look at it, hey
In my life, I have walked many roads, crossed many bridges, seen many clouds, and drank many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person of the right age.
I have to write reading notes
If it wasn't a junior high school requirement, I wouldn't watch it.
That's all I can think of about Shen Congwen's sentences. I have to say that he is a very good writer.
Shen Congwen 1. I have walked on bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, and drank many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person at his best age. 2. Everything happens by chance, but the result is inevitable. 3. I know you will come, so I wait. 4. I touch your eyes with my hands. It's too cold. If your eyes are so cold, someone's heart will freeze. 5. In this world, all true-hearted people always think differently. 6. Some roads look very close but are very far. If you don't have patience, you will never reach the end. 7. I just miss you while looking at the water. 8. It is unfortunate for a person to remember too many things, it is unfortunate to know too many things, and it is unfortunate to experience too many things. 9. This is how human affairs are, you build your own cage and lock yourself up. Become God yourself and worship yourself. Survival is such a pitiful thing. 10. Among the green mountains and green waters, I want to hold your hand and walk across this bridge. There are green leaves and red flowers on the bridge, and flowing water under the bridge. There are black hair on the other side of the bridge, and white hair on the other side of the bridge.
If it wasn't a junior high school requirement, I wouldn't watch it.
Not good at all
Old time slow life
I worked in Phoenix years ago. When I went to Phoenix, I looked for Mr. Shen's books to read. Reading Mr. Shen's letter to San San, I feel that in that era of slowly living, a person's life is only enough to love one person😹
