About This Novel
In 2003, Shanxi writer Ge Shuihui wrote her famous novel "Whiplash", which became an instant success when it was published. Then he got out of hand and created a series of short and medium-sized novels such as "Shouting Mountain". This book is a collection of short stories and short stories by Ge Shuijing, which includes two representative works: "Flipping the Whip" and "Shouting the Mountain". Ge Shuiping's soul has been walking in the mountain god valley of his hometown. Her creations are more inspired by her memories of the countryside. "Ordinary life of ordinary people" has become the object of Ge Shuijing's aesthetic observation. This is true both in the mute's shouting for the mountain ("Shouting the Mountain") and the iron boy's whip-throwing ("Whiplash"). The novel describes the original ecological life of the people in southeastern Shanxi in a meticulous and tender style, and truly reproduces the struggle and daily life of farmers in the Taihang Mountains, where politics, customs, and human nature are intertwined. The author strives for "good looks", is good at telling stories, has a strong plot, and the language is very characteristic of southeastern Shanxi. At the same time, the words and sentences are feminine and gentle, classical and beautiful. The author is good at capturing the reality and simplicity of folk land and secular life, with the hard texture and pain like earthly stones, the elegance and poetry of folk customs, and the transcendent softness and warmth like water.
