Human Vegetation
by Wang Zengqi
About This Novel
"Human Grass and Trees" is a collection of essays by Mr. Wang Zengqi. He wrote in ink the human touch of vegetation, mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, insects and fish, as well as the gentle local flavor of folk customs and ordinary people. He wrote the beauty and agility of the world with a calm and open-minded heart. There is always a series of surprises under the tip of his pen: the white osmanthus with dew in the morning mist, the bright, plump and plump rain in Kunming, the woody fragrance that swells the flower bones, the gardenia enjoying itself, the alley. The soft voice of the Miao woman selling bayberry, the unforgettable mentors and friends of the Lianda University, or the idle people in the busy city who have no joy or worry, no worries, no desires or pursuits, who are naturally indifferent, hugging their knees and watching "Living Zhuangzi". Mr. Wang Zengqi has devoted his true feelings to life all his life. His water-washed words have the power to wash away the worldly world and give his works pure vitality.

The years are quiet and good - Comments on "human vegetation"
I always remember this sentence: If you come to visit me and I am not here, please sit with the flowers outside my door for a while, they are very warm. I only remember the blooming flowers and not the person. You are in the flowers, just like the flowers in the wind. "Plants and Plants in the World" is more like a life note. Mr. Wang recorded the beautiful plants, unique regional culture, memories of the prosperous years, and interesting people he encountered in his life in words. Through the words, I can imagine that the teachers and students of Southwest Associated University, even though the war is raging and they sleep in the open, still talk loudly and maintain their true vitality; I would look forward to going to Yunnan Xishan to see the camellia trees in the temple; I would want to try to find an open space, plant a small patch of grapes myself, and build a warm grape cellar in winter... Simplicity is the style of this book. The table of contents and text are Mr. Wang's simplest style. The clear and simple words may be the most touching. Mr. Wang loves to eat, and he does not hide his love for food at all. Whether it is the introduction of fruits, vegetables or regions, there are indispensable themes in Eat Must Talk. In the book, Mr. Wang speaks frankly about his feelings about a certain food and shares his personal views on food. If you are lucky enough to taste the same food with him, sharing your feelings across time and space is also a very elegant act. Loving life is the most profound impression this book gives. In turbulent times, even if you are suffering, you can still live your life vividly. Pay attention to the plants and trees around you. Their beauty is discovered and recorded. Even though there is a time difference between me and the author, I will still be infected by the joy. Try different foods, feel the strange feelings from foreign lands, see different scenery, and live an optimistic and open-minded life. In our life, everyone will meet many people, and they all come into our lives with different lights. We are far from the era of Mr. Wang, but from the book, we can still see with him the vitality of everyone's personality, the old man's love for life and knowledge. The turmoil of war did not erase people's love and pursuit of life, nor did it make people succumb to life. They still maintained their individuality and straightforwardness. Life is philosophical and the characters are wonderful. This is probably the most beautiful thing about "human vegetation". In life, there are many things described in the book, but we are always in a hurry and never stop or slow down to see if the plants and trees are really alive and moving; we go to foreign lands, boldly try new things, and accept the unique customs. Different life experiences will definitely bring us different feelings. The philosophy and beauty of life require our continuous bold attempts. Read this book carefully, maybe you will want to see if the plants and trees are really so beautiful, and discover the interesting souls of the people around you.
He wrote in ink the human touch of vegetation, mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, insects, and fish, as well as the gentle local flavor of nostalgia and folk customs, and the trivial things of ordinary people; he wrote the beauty and agility of the world with a calm and open-minded heart.
I have read it several times, and there is a real meaning in it. I have forgotten to explain it.
I don't know why this comment is divided into title and content.
"If you come to visit me and I'm not here, please sit with the flowers outside my door for a while. They are very warm. I have been looking at them for many, many days."
Written naturally
I learned a lot about delicious food from it
It makes me so hungry!
It is recommended to buy a physical book to read. The leisurely feeling is really satisfying.
Trivial things written down, deep feelings flowing
The petals of pear blossoms are made of the moon. It is amazing to read. Every flower, every grass, every vegetable is enough to taste the author's love for life, which confirms the sentence "life is very interesting."
