There is Peizhu in the Southern Wilderness
by Lu Yuan
About This Novel
This book contains 10 interrelated short stories, which can be regarded as different chapters of a grand story. It depicts the stormy and turbulent era in the south of the Republic of China where warlords were fighting. The cold and arrogant dancer, the down-and-out poet, the skilled carpenter, the wandering rural intellectual... They are full of absurdity, comedy and humbleness, but they still tenaciously make a living and find love in the gloomy fate, blooming with the brilliance of legend and romance. This collection of novels inherits the memories of ancestors - many of the historical details come from the memories and narrations of the author's father. Lu Yuan is familiar with the past events of Guangxi during the Republic of China, and has detailed and vivid descriptions of the streets, shops, factories, rural features and lifestyles of Nanning and its surrounding areas at that time. In the gaps in history, he laid out for us a series of wonderful and beautiful past events. These words are like flying silver needles, which will eventually penetrate into the deepest part of our hearts.
