About This Novel
"Shicheng Anshun" is the first volume of "The Collection of Dai Mingxian" and the beginning of this series of books. It mainly describes what Dai Mingxian saw and heard when he was a child. It depicts the turbulent life and worldly affairs of ordinary citizens in the small town of Anshun through the eyes of a child. This book does not describe the city or his childhood in a general way, but details small people and events one by one. It combines such rich and colorful wartime education, culture and art, commerce, police, religion, folk customs, catering, sewing, entertainment... In an almost line drawing way, it concretely and minutely presents the everlasting casual and unrestrained daily life of this small town. This description gives this small town and its people a unique charm, highlighting its unusually tenacious life force in an era full of turmoil and war.
