Where Flowers Bloom, the Buddha Appears

The author explores the studies, love lives, and social concerns of young men and women from many different angles. Drawing on the positive teachings of Buddhism, Daoism, and the divine, the story reflects on the meaning of life. The lovers' inner worlds are portrayed in the graceful, romantic, and beautiful style of Song dynasty ci poetry, while Song dynasty paintings establish the work's cultural atmosphere. This unprecedented approach overturns traditional ways of writing novels. Like watching a film, the novel offers a powerful sense of realism and limitless room for the imagination. It brings together youthful romance on campus and the fierce battles of the business world. Who will share these lovely years? Behind carved windows and vermilion doors, only spring knows.
