Xiao Hong, known as the "Literary Goddess of the 1930s", was the woman with the most tragic fate among the four talented women in the Republic of China, and was also a legendary figure. This book selects Xiao Hong's representative novels "The Story of Hulan River", "The Field of Life and Death", "March in a Small Town", etc. Xiao Hong's works express her subjective feelings in a lyrical style; the structure of the novel is prose; it emphasizes the description of cultural customs and natural scenery, and does not waste pen and ink on the portrayal of characters; the plot of the story is intermittent, but meaningful; and the interesting stories from childhood are full of wit and humor. As Mr. Mao Dun commented: "There is irony and humor. You feel relaxed when you start reading, but as you continue, your heart will become heavier and heavier. However, there is still beauty, even if this beauty is a bit morbid, it still can't help but dazzle you."

And she is particularly good at describing natural scenery and customs and culture, making people feel as if they are actually there. Xiao Hong is really a talented writer! However, I kind of hate some of the characters in her novels. Their fates are so tragic that it makes me feel uncomfortable reading them. Overall, this book is worth reading, and you will definitely be moved by Xiao Hong's writing.
