About This Novel
Everyone has two hometowns, one cannot be moved and can only be left in the hometown; the other can be carried with you, and your hometown is where you feel at ease. "One Foot in the Country and One Foot in the City" is the author's written record of every bit of life in these two hometowns. The book tells the author's helpless reflection on his hometown, including the summer nights on the rural wheat fields, the long-gone photo studio, the missing cobblers, the Shanghai educated youth who once became the town's scenery, the river workers who once made a noise in the countryside, and the barbers who are destined to be ignored in every village. These retrospections and reflections are full of the author's worries about the fate of the countryside and his helplessness about the passing of the countryside. The author tries his best to explore people's thoughts on life and destiny. The works are full of life interest and the writing style is meticulous and popular.
