The Light of the City (republic Writers Library)
by Li Peifu
About This Novel
Through the mutual observation of history and reality, the writer examines the difficult process of farmers "escaping" from the countryside and entering the city in the dual structure of urban and rural areas in China. This book constructs a unique "sieged city" world: there is "glorious light" in the city, which is pleasant and clean; outside the city, there is a huge black hole that is constantly being swallowed by darkness. In the abyss of desire, sin is rampant. In the throes of entanglement and biting inside and outside the city, Li Peifu uses his characters to show us the weight of life in the struggle against suffering and desire. This struggle is also a more profound reflection on his living conditions and value ideals.

With tears streaming down our faces, the ending makes us think deeply.
Waiting for the soul, the lost countryside
Some people's souls sublimate while they are alive, while others gradually evaporate. I think Hanxiang's soul sublimates!
Personally, I think it's too wordy in some places. If you don't like it, don't spray it.
The author's books are all very good.
The roads in the city are lined with bright lights, like daylight. But there are no stars in the city, and the moonlight is still as bright as in my hometown.
MILFs.
Very well written.
Times have changed.
I first read this book when I was 16 years old, probably 12 years ago. I am 28 years old and have loved books like this since I was a child.
