Synopsis

Shen Congwen is the uncrowned king of China's literary world in the 20th century and has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature twice. His works are regarded as models of Chinese vernacular literature, full of natural beauty and human purity, and at the same time full of thoughts on life. In that real society full of anxiety and even suffering, the world he wrote opened up a pure land for people's hearts. "Shen Congwen's Novel Slowly Walking and Stopping" mainly writes about the places Shen Congwen traveled throughout his life, including what he saw and thought in Xiangxi, Beiping, Yunnan, the South and other places. With sincerity and a pen, he used simple words to describe the scenery of western Hunan, as well as the people and scenery he saw during his travels. At the same time, the lines are full of his hidden worries and philosophical thinking about life. "Shen Congwen's Novels Slowly Walk and Stop" selects the best chapters from his masterpieces such as "Autobiography of Congwen", "Records of a Travel to Hunan", "Western Hunan", "Looking at the Clouds in Yunnan" and other works to comprehensively display Shen Congwen's experiences and feelings during his life, so that readers can have a deeper understanding of Shen Congwen and his story!

This book allowed me to see a different world. The scenery of western Hunan written by Shen Congwen is so beautiful! His writing is simple and true, making people feel like they are actually there. I especially like his description of nature, it's really wonderful. However, I kind of hate teachers who always punish students. As the book says, "all new punishments are also specially prepared for these subjects." Fortunately, I have not met such a teacher😜. "Jun, can you understand what it is like to play hooky?" This sentence really expresses the feelings of many people~
