Traveler's Letters
by Chen Jiaying
About This Novel
Travels in China by philosopher Chen Jiaying. In 1981, 29-year-old Chen Jiaying embarked on a two-month journey in the spring and traveled half of China. He wrote down his experiences and thoughts during the trip in 25 letters to his family. "The way of writing is just to express the idea. The matter is plain, there is no need to be emotional; the enthusiasm is overflowing, there is no need to be subtle. Personally, I just hope that in the event of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in Jian'an, I will be honest and straightforward, with less frivolity, and there will naturally be strength in it." The traveler's letters copy the scenery in a detailed and natural way, and the narrative expression reveals a free and sincere state of life. Reading his books makes me want to see him as a person.
