About This Novel
This novel unfolds from the memories of an elderly person of Chinese and Russian descent. The story takes place in the summer and autumn of 1961-62, but the exact time is not specified to give readers ample room for imagination. The location is the village of Shangkuli on the Sino-Soviet border. A Russian language teacher from a university in northern China led several students to Shangkuli Village to learn Russian and stay with a Chinese-Russian couple. The landlord's wife (a Russian woman) initially disliked the tenant, but slowly began to like him because he was cultured and polite. The teacher and the landlord's daughter gradually develop feelings for each other, but due to the pressure of the real situation, although the two understand it well, they cannot express it to each other.
