About This Novel

My hometown is in the Daba Mountain area surrounded by peaks in northeastern Sichuan. The mountain we settled on is called Laojun Mountain. The village hangs on the mountainside, more than a thousand meters above sea level. There is a mighty river at the foot of the mountain, and across the river is Yanghou Mountain. Xu Zhaohui's home is in the belly of Yanghou Mountain, where there is a village primary school called Shichuan Primary School. Her father became a teacher after being demobilized from the army, but he did not teach in Shichuan. Instead, he was sent to Anzisi Primary School in our village as the principal. Standing on the playground of Anzi Temple, you can see the bamboo forest in front of Principal Xu's house, and you can also see the smoke rising from his cooking stove. But if you want to go back, you have to walk a "U" shape from beginning to end, which takes more than half a day. There is a folk song circulating in the local area: "The two families are separated by a river. If you want to go over and kiss each other, don't be afraid of breaking your feet." Principal Xu's family is very poor. According to the villagers, they are so poor that they "lick their feet."
