About This Novel
"Hometown" is a novel by the writer Yu Song. With the help of Micun, a place as small as a drop, it shows the changes in the rural areas of Northeast China over the past thirty years. The work was written by the four families of Dai, Chen, Zhang and Duan, covering almost every appearance of villagers in China, with an almost line drawing-like authenticity, detail, and precision. The simplicity and relaxation of daily life are intertwined with the magnificence of the changes of the times, colliding with the most real conflicts and entanglements. The fate of all characters is expressed so delicately and so shockingly. The author is like carving the soul of China's contemporary countryside on grains of rice, carving a thousands-mile long scroll full of life, pain and warmth. It is worthy of being called "a heavy rural chronicle" and "the "Along the River During Qingming Festival" of Chinese rural society."
