This book is a collection of novellas, most of which are about people and events set in the writer's hometown - Zhenping County, slightly west of the bottom of the Nanyang Basin in southwestern Henan. It is a natural village with three to five thousand people with the same surname. It can still be studied as a living fossil of the orthodox Central Plains civilization. The fate of the characters shows the complex characteristics of this place that values order and individuality, adheres to the golden mean but likes to show off the weird.
Reader comments
This book is a collection of novellas, most of which are about people and events set in the author's hometown of Zhenping County, which is slightly west of the bottom of the Nanyang Basin in southwest Henan.
The ten exquisite short essays in the book, with the author's calm and down-to-earth writing style, allow readers to experience the emotional entanglements of the period in the strong rural atmosphere and the strong rural atmosphere of southern Henan. The implicit description of human nature and social structure is revealed, and the changes of human nature and concepts in historical and cultural inheritance with the times.
As a collection of novels, this book contains 10 novels. Generally speaking, it is well written. Most of the novels in the book are based on a remote town on the edge of the Nanyang Basin in Henan. I have always been interested in local novels about the Central Plains. I am curious about the life, customs and culture there. The author's novels reflect the Central Plains culture very well. I see that there are some slightly unconventional behaviors based on the traditional order, which adds to the cultural characteristics of the Central Plains.
From this book, I saw a different small town in Henan, and read about different customs and characters. The author Liu Jianwei is from Nanyang, Henan. The historical background and spatial background of this book are also set in the villages near Nanyang, Henan. The whole book is composed of several short stories, using different stories to introduce the customs and customs of rural areas in the 20th century. Among them, the story that impressed me deeply was the story of "Dong Mei", which tells the experience of a woman who failed to love. Dong Mei is very much like us who are frustrated in love.
The author of this book, Liu Jianwei, lives in Nanyang, Henan. He has created a series of magnificent but shocking novellas based on his hometown. This book describes a series of heart-stirring and jaw-dropping stories. Although the protagonist in the book is resourceful and rebellious, he is trapped in the limitations and shackles of the times and can only stumble and crawl. The author's writing style is simple, the language is very contagious, and the plot is smooth. It is a hearty and memorable novel.

The author uses very short and concise language to describe 10 exquisite essays, which have a strong rural flavor in southern Henan. The plot tells a series of emotional entanglements in a leisurely and unhurried manner, and implicitly reveals the description of human nature and social structure, which changes with the evolution of the background of the times. What happens is what happens, and the past is the past. Time does not let go of anything, and nothing will be left behind. Just like the worst of whiteness, both whiteness and sin have come and gone.
This book reminded me of my hometown. The depiction of the fate of the characters in the book was very realistic and made me feel the same way. I like the Central Plains civilization shown in the book. It has both traditional order and full of individuality. The author's in-depth understanding and detailed description of his hometown made me feel like I was immersed in it. Moreover, I admire Liu Jianwei's experience and achievements very much. His works have won many awards, and this book is even more worth reading!
