Notes on a Trip to Hunan
by Shen Congwen
About This Novel
"Xiang Xing Xing Ji" is one of Shen Congwen's representative works of prose collection, revealing the author's strong local sentiment in every aspect. In 1934, Shen Congwen returned to his hometown to visit his mother. He witnessed the local customs and customs along the way, and witnessed the withering, decline and sudden desolation of his once picturesque and beautiful home. He then poured out the scenery, people and events he encountered along the way and wrote "Short Notes of a Journey to Hunan". The author uses a natural and simple writing style to immerse the ancient atmosphere accumulated in the history of Xiangxi, the simplicity and solidity of Xiangxi people, as well as his own hidden worries and philosophical thinking about life into the lines, and composes a sad and beautiful pastoral song, which is long-lasting and memorable to read.
