The Stone Archway in the Distance
About This Novel
There is a stone archway on the street of Pailouba. When the owner of Shipai Tower left, the tenant Yuan Guishi, who bought his ramie land at a low price, would tell his son the story of Shipai Tower and its owner from time to time. As time passes, Yuan Jianshu changes from a child to an old man. What remains unchanged is that the stone archway has always led his dreams and materialized his understanding and yearning for wealth and nobility. By describing the fate of a family living in Mayuanzi, the author comprehensively, multi-anglely and multi-levelly presents a picture of rural life in southern Shaanxi and the complex mentality of people from all walks of life on the eve of the birth of New China, which is both surprising and thought-provoking.
