About This Novel
This is a small street called Sanliwan. When all the streets in the city were paved with stones, poured with asphalt, and became flat and wide, only this small street still retained its own style: 3,700 large bluestones were paved unevenly from one end of Sanli Bay to the other, as if stubbornly trying to leave some quaint relics to this ever-changing small city. In which dynasty and generation did the bluestone road in Sanliwan begin? No one in the small town could tell. Some say that it was built by the first civil servant in the small town during the Qing Dynasty to go to the capital for the examination and donate money to Buddhism; others say that after the Boxer Rebellion was defeated, the French set up a missionary school here to enable the church students to pass the three-mile road safely in the mud on rainy days, thus reflecting the mercy and omnipresence of God.
