Floating World
by Ge Junyi
About This Novel
In the snow-covered flag town, there are three civilized alleys: Caiguan Haohan Lane, Yanguan Shenxian Lane, and Brothel Xinghua Lane; there are also Paper Lantern Street, Pheasant Ridge, Huahua Ridge, the luxurious and elegant Red Mansion with Human Heads, as well as the Peking University Temple and St. Nila Cathedral, where bells often ring. Smokers who grow poppies in the mountains, "skin-pickers" who smuggle across the border late at night, "beards" who kill people, steal goods, kidnap and rob... A mysterious traveler comes to the town, and the thousand-year-old elm tree at the corner of Crotch Street turns green overnight, dooming a soul-stirring legend of the rise and fall of Flag Town. The works have far-reaching realms and connotations, and are elegant in style and taste, just like a long artistic scroll called "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
