Island Story

About This Novel
"Island Stories" is a collection of works with a documentary quality. The author was born and grew up on the island in the story, from a fishing village to a small town and then to a city. Looking back on the past, the author sealed a period of time and space with warm and calm observation, and then transformed it into 17 stories included in the book. This special way of remembering gives the author the freedom to create and imagine. The author tries to use the three dimensions of "people, things, and places" to construct the local changes and human relationships during the growth process, and create a common growth memory for a generation of young people in a small town. Therefore, in these stories there are craftsmen, gamblers, fishermen, barefoot doctors, fishing villages, small towns, streets, and fields. These stories are intertwined together to create a space where the past events are reminisced into stories and properly placed.

Book
Only by reading thousands of books can you travel thousands of miles.
It's good-looking, and the author has the makings of a famous writer.
When reading e-books, there is too much fighting and fighting, which may catch the eye, but it loses the fun of reading. This book quickly brought me back the joy of reading
The sense of immersion is very strong, and the story of that person, that island, is very vivid!
The narration of the character's story makes people feel very immersed, as if that person is also a very vivid person I know, that place is also a place I have been to, and the emotions in the story are as close to my own...!
A work with a visual quality, the author tells the daily stories of ordinary people living on Nantian Island, and the memories of those years, the people there, the trees there, the houses there, the childhood there, etc., Belong only to the author. It outlines a beautiful island life. I really want to set foot on Nantian Island and see the Fengmenkou, Shepherd's Ao, Yangliukeng, Jinqimen, etc. Written by the author.
Each short story vividly depicts the island's style, making people feel familiar yet somewhat mysterious.
A pretty good book
I must change, no one can stop me
"It's okay even if I go to jail. I just want to be different." Uncle A Fei was as helpless as a child. He was sitting on the floor of the casino, his hair messy, like a fish stranded on the shore. My mother asked me to help Uncle A Fei up. I pulled on his clothes and accidentally exposed the tattoo on his arm. The simple "eagle" and the word "fly" were scratched by him with a knife. The scars were shocking. After celebrating the New Year in the town, Uncle A Fei finally returned to Yangliukeng and locked himself in the house. The spring after the new year was quite cold. Grandma became delirious after suffering continuous blows. She sat by the stove every day, talking about her uncle and third uncle.
