Banquet

About This Novel
"The Big Banquet" is the first written work of folk musician and writer Liu Dongming. It consists of 17 novels and 17 essays. The novel "The Big Banquet" of the same name creates a very vivid image of chef Liu Zhenkuan, and also spreads the customs and customs of Shandong's Big Banquet. His novels describe all kinds of things in the city, rural legends, young people's thoughts, and the songs of animals. Sometimes they are simple and lively, sometimes they are weird and interesting. His prose writes about hometown delicacies and travel experiences, about life and friends accompanied by music, about growing up and nostalgic memories, which are sincere and plain, with a long aftertaste. Sneaking between music and life, the author uses words to describe a real and free world full of wild fun: the fifth grandmother who loves soul-stirring accents, the pouring black rain falling in Stone City, the silly boy named Da Da, the young man who has just begun to have an affair, the rich man Li Wanwan who died in vain, the young man Guan Fei who fell into hallucinatory love, a stray dog named A Ming, Scar. The blind dog-peeper, the disappeared shoemaker, the "disco" hair salon, the laid-off "Queen Mother", the mountain woodcutter with good calligraphy... People walking on the earth, songs flowing in life, the author uses sensitive observation of life and poetic imagination to write a story of rural life at the end of the century, which is also a narrative poem about the growth of a musician.
