About This Novel

This is the first time in China that "Records of a Travel to Hunan" and "Cong Wen's Autobiography" have been published together; it depicts the peach blossom garden in the hearts of modern people, shows the pure and natural human nature, and shows the simple and wild style of western Hunan. With beautiful and vivid hand-drawn illustrations, "Xiang Xing Xian Ji Cong Wen's Autobiography" is a collection of works by the famous writer Shen Congwen. Researchers such as Qian Liqun and Wen Rumin believe that "Xiang Xing Xing Ji" is "equal to his autobiography", while "Cong Wen Autobiography" is an autobiographical prose. "Xiang Xing Xing Ji" includes 12 essays including "Sailors on the Boat on the Chen River", which follows the journey back home from the lower reaches to the upper reaches, depicts the pure and beautiful landscape of the Yuanshui River Basin, and records the human affairs, sorrows and joys of the counties in western Hunan. "Congwen's Autobiography" narrates Shen Congwen's life experience for nearly twenty years from his birth to his departure from western Hunan. It is a literary record of his difficult journey and dreams. Both "Song Notes of a Journey to Hunan" and "Autobiography of Congwen" express a more direct historical feeling than novels, propose a philosophy of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and praise a "beautiful, healthy, natural form of life that is not contrary to human nature." The two collections of essays mirror each other, and when read together, there is a wonderful feeling of intertextuality. This book includes reading guidance programs and beautiful illustrations written by famous teachers in Zhejiang.
