"A Land Wide and an Inch of Wood" is a new masterpiece by the writer Wei Sixiao, and the title of the book is a decomposition of the word "village". Village is an adjective that reflects the situation of everyone who is faced with an overwhelming life. The living beings and daily life of "Xinliu Village" unfold slowly like documentary footage. There are more than a hundred characters, age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, each face has endless stories. The writing method of "A Wisdom of Land and an Inch of Trees" eliminates the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, and challenges the traditional imaginative writing of the countryside. The first part, "Partial", focuses on people, things, places and time, thus linking up the character pedigree and various world affairs in Xinliu Village; the second part, "One Year", takes the daily life of mother and son, Lao Fu and "I" as the main line, describing the village's major and minor affairs in one year, involving agricultural production, weddings and funerals, grassroots politics, etc., And panoramically depicts the real landscape of the current countryside. "A Lot of Ground and an Inch of Trees" is like a written documentary about contemporary rural areas, full of close and detailed observations and profound and specific concerns. The life picture of Xinliu Village hides the ghost of history and also reveals the confusion of the times.
