About This Novel
"Bashan Night Rain" is an important late work of Zhang Henshui. It was written after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and was serialized in the supplement "Beihai" of "Xinmin Daily" from April 1946 to December 1948. Different from the best-selling masterpieces "The Golden Family" and "The Cause of Laughter", this is Zhang Henshui's new exploration and attempt in content and form. The title of the book is taken from Li Shangyin's poem "Night Rain Sends to the North", which contains the mood of the foreigners wandering in eastern Sichuan looking forward to their return when the Japanese invaders trampled on their country and destroyed their family. The novel has a strong autobiographical flavor. Centered on Li Nanquan, a professor with a profound literary temperament, a picture of all living beings in a mountain village in eastern Sichuan slowly unfolds. The characters are vividly drawn, the language is humorous and sharp, and the writing is timeless, calm and profound. The novel's descriptive skills have reached a level of proficiency.
