A Strange Land
by Zhang Ailing
About This Novel
Zhang Ailing's autobiographical prose posthumous manuscript has been made public for the first time; it is the source of inspiration and material for Zhang Ailing's novel "A Strange Land", which was written by Zhang Ailing about what she saw and heard when she went from Shanghai to Wenzhou to search for Hu Lancheng. The book records Zhang Ailing's New Year celebrations in the countryside, her sightings of pig slaughter, and the life of farmers. The concise words and sincere emotional expressions make the whole story lively and interesting, and hundreds of rural scenes vividly appear on the page. In addition, this work not only records an important and critical day in Zhang Ailing's life, but the text in the book also became the source of inspiration for her future works such as "Love in a Fallen City", "Yangko", "The Resentful Girl", and even "Little Reunion". Song Yilang, the heir to Zhang Ailing's literary legacy, said: The reason for publishing this anecdote is that "the publication of "A Strange Land" not only provides first-hand information about Zhang Ailing herself, but also helps us understand her writing intentions and process...".
