About This Novel
The novel describes the joys and sorrows of a pair of twin sisters. Due to a poor family, her sister Chieko was abandoned and adopted by a silk and satin wholesaler, and she became a pampered young lady. Although her younger sister Miaozi stayed at her parents' home, she became an orphan when she was infancy. When she grew up, she stayed in the village to be employed and support herself. The two sisters are beautiful in appearance and kind-hearted. Chieko is sensitive and possesses the delicate emotions of a girl, while her younger sister Miaozi is gentle and simple, like the spirit of Beishan fir, tall, beautiful and full of vitality. Kawabata Yasunari used two parasitic purple-flowered cicadas on a large maple tree to compare the fate of the two sisters. Although they are so far away from each other, they can meet each other for a while, but they never get together.

The writing of this book is delicate, and the emotions are also described very delicately. It is gentle and elegant, not too intense, but you can feel a touch of sadness from the words, and you can deeply immerse yourself in the characters. The structure is compact and the foreshadowings are echoed later. Overall, it is a very good book.
