About This Novel
"Chao Sao" is based on the ancient Greek pastoral romance novel "Daphnis and Heroa": 18-year-old fisherman Shinji meets the beautiful and lively girl Hatsue, the daughter of the ship owner who has just returned from overseas. They fell in love unconsciously. Unexpectedly, rumors spread around this time, and the girl's father became furious when he heard about it and objected to their meeting again. Later, while fishing in a boat, the young man risked his life and saved a boat belonging to Chujiang's father from the stormy waves, and was praised by the boat owner. In the end, he won the beauty with his bravery and tenacity. "Chao Sao" brings the purity of youth and love to the extreme. The love story of Shinji and Hatsue, apart from noble emotion and pure love, does not involve any distracting thoughts. After the balance between soul and body is broken, it embodies another kind of beauty: removing the ugly obscenity from love and carnal desire, returning to nature, and absolutely purifying love. The novel runs through the beauty of nature and humanity, placing the characters' lives, work, thoughts, and feelings in the infinite sea and infinite nature, creating a Japanese-style natural beauty - the unity of life, vitality, and body.
