Classic Novels of the Republic of China: the Story of Hulan River
by Xiao Hong
About This Novel
This book selects three classic works by Xiao Hong, a talented female writer from China, "The Legend of Hulan River", "The Field of Life and Death" and "March in a Small Town". They are her representative works, famous works and posthumous works respectively, forming Xiao Hong's trilogy. "The Story of Hulan River" is Xiao Hong's later masterpiece. By recalling various characters and life scenes in his hometown, he expresses the author's denial of the social reality of old China that distorts human nature and damages personality. The writer has created the pinnacle of her "memory style" with her skillful recall skills, lyrical prose style, and heavy yet light writing style. "The Field of Life and Death" is the pinnacle of Xiao Hong's early creation. This work established Xiao Hong's status as an anti-Japanese writer and made her one of the most eye-catching writers in the 1930s. In particular, Lu Xun wrote the preface and Hu Feng wrote the afterword, which made "The Field of Life and Death" a classic text of the national spirit of the era. "March in Small Town" is Xiao Hong's last work. The work describes the beautiful 19-year-old Aunt Cui who silently loves her elder brother and yearns for a love that was impossible in that feudal secular era. It is still March in the small town and only the eldest brother misses Aunt Cui...
