Among the green mountains and green waters, I hold your hand and walk across this bridge. On the bridge are green leaves and red flowers. Under the bridge are flowing water houses. On the other end of the bridge are black hair. On the other end of the bridge are white hair.

This may never come back, maybe it will come back tomorrow
Damn it, the teacher asked us to read this book and said it was winter vacation homework. But there are a lot of environmental descriptions in the content!
I would rather love the border town than the city edge
There are many touching stories in this book, but they are all unforgettable!
I keep confusing the border city with the siege city!
Border town scenery in the book
Border towns at dusk and night Figure 4: Cuicui Island at night
After reading it, I don't understand some parts...
The border town is beautiful. The Cuicui in Shen Congwen's works is really similar to her.
