A Message (shortlisted Works for the 10th Mao Dun Literary Award)
About This Novel
Shortlisted for the 10th Mao Dun Literary Award, "A Village of One Man" is a new novel written by Liu Liangcheng for many years. It is a text with unique charm and an unprecedented reading adventure. The Bisha Kingdom in the east and the Helle Kingdom in the west were at odds with each other and started a decades-long war. Letters between the two countries were cut off, and folk messengers became a secret profession, playing an important role in conveying information between the two places. The messenger in the novel is Ku, a famous translator from the Bisha Kingdom who speaks dozens of languages. He is entrusted to carry a little female donkey from Bisha to Helle as a "message". Ku said, I only carry messages, not donkeys. The client said that donkey also has a word. This is how the story begins... In the sound world where humans and all things coexist, the sound of wind, the braying of donkeys, human voices, cooking smoke, the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs are all conveying words to the distance. During the time when various languages passed silently, no one was aware of it, but both gods and ghosts appeared. The little female donkey Xie can hear ghosts speak, can see the shapes and colors of all sounds, knows how to serve others and how to guess people's hearts. So, one person and one donkey, carrying the task of "passing a message", crossed the battlefield, crossed the desert between languages, and witnessed many life, death and incredible things.

The book recommended by Brother Jian is great💙
What are you writing about? . . . . . I don't understand. Does it mean that the more you don't understand, the more artistic you are?
Go to bed, it's so artistic. Take a look.
A bit disappointed 😞.

I really can't explain, I am so impressed by the author's name.
I am not sure if I am the first person to read it, but I am the first person to write a book review. The books recommended by Li Jian are truly excellent. A very good piece of literature, worth reading.
