About This Novel
This book collects 15 novellas, with the western Hunan region as the background and Hunan culture as the background. It depicts the various life styles of rural society under the changes of the times, portrays the inner world of one little person after another, and tells one emotional story after another of tenderness and deep gratitude. The author's writing style is macroscopic, touching on the imprint of the great era, such as migrant workers, college entrance examinations, left-behind population and other social phenomena; the author's writing style is microscopic, reaching out to the human fireworks of small people's lives and paying attention to their joys and sorrows. For example, "The Housekeeper" reproduces the custom of rural burial through the character Liu Qingyun, thereby conveying the emotional bond between the born and the deceased; "Walking the Satellite" portrays the image of an authoritative rural figure through an unexpected incident, and plays a rich nostalgia ballad; "Liao Shui Wei Lan" borrows the image of Liao Shui to depict the infatuated love of a young man and woman, which is beautiful and intense, bringing people a deep feeling.
