About This Novel

"Little John" is a philosophical novel with profound meaning and broad imagery. It uses transparent, pure, soft and bright language to describe a beautiful natural paradise. A child named Little John travels through the fantasy world of nature, listening to flowers talk, talking to fireflies and earthworms, dancing with butterflies, swimming with eels, and flying side by side through the sky with pigeons... He is looking for the "Book of Truth" that answers life's questions. This novel seems to be written for children, but even for adults, its content and artistic conception are full of profound and wise philosophical thinking. In the book, reality and illusion are reborn, bondage and separation coexist, time and life and death are accompanied, love and knowledge are intertwined, conveying people's profound thinking and questioning about the world, the value, meaning, ideal and responsibility of life.

I heard that it is a work highly praised by Mr. Shuren. I came here to take a look.
