About This Novel
To go to Paris is a cosmopolitan desire. "Paris" is the poet Yu Jian's pilgrimage to Paris. In 1994, the 40-year-old poet flew to Paris for the first time and arrived late at night. He always thought that Paris was a bright city of the future, but when dawn woke him up, he was shocked. The whole world is looking for a new look, but Paris remains unchanged. This is still Balzac's Paris, Hugo's Paris, and Baudelaire's Paris. It is full of history, time, details, and patina. This is completely an old world, a hometown that accepts the objects and smells of the past. Walking in the streets and alleys, you feel that Goriot will come out of a dark doorway at any time, Aunt Bei will water the flowers at a certain window, and you will also walk into Hugo's former residence, Joyce's former residence, and the small hotel where Marquez stayed when he was down and out... After that, the poet often visited Paris. The world was changing with each passing day, and Paris went its own way, as silent as an elephant. After more than 20 years of seeing and thinking, the poet finally condensed it into 63 Parisian whispers and 163 on-the-spot street photos, taking you to roam Paris and find his hometown all over the world.
