About This Novel
"The Rich Gate", "Beijing Smoke and Clouds" and "The Wind and Crane" are collectively called "Lin Yutang's Trilogy". This novel, published in 1953, mainly tells the story of the love story between two Xi'an natives, journalist Li Fei and famous lady Du Rou'an, who crossed the boundaries of their family background. The novel not only describes the cultural landscape and turbulent current situation of the ancient city of Xi'an in the 1930s, but also follows the experiences of the two protagonists. It also spends a lot of words describing the vast customs of Western Xinjiang, as well as the legendary stories that happened in that land of mixed races and constant struggles, and reveals the author's humanitarian feelings of equality and fraternity everywhere.

I like Mr. Lin Yutang very much
I've almost finished reading it. It's very good. Only by reading the book can you understand the cruelty of war from the heart. It is far more shocking to the soul than watching movies and TV series. It is worthy of everyone's work.
Must support, such a good book
Classic indelible
It's so beautiful! ! !
A classic book, written by everyone!
He is worthy of being a master-level figure, and his writing is very delicate.
Just started watching.
It didn't seem to be that expensive when I bought it. Fortunately, I bought it early, so I'll take a look now.
