Four Poplars

"Four Poplars" is a long-length rural novel in three volumes. It is a life-shocking work by the best-selling author Han Chuanzi. This book uses flowing language to describe the turmoil experienced by nearly a hundred households in Sikeyang Village in southwest Henan, together with the whole of China, in nearly thirty years of life. It vividly demonstrates a cultural struggle bound to the land. It interprets the common fate of contemporary Chinese farmers from the perspective of human nature and culture, and reproduces the reality of life in rural areas of the Central Plains. Absurdity, madness, and despair take you back to that real historical scene that has not yet gone far.
