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.
