Reader comments
The prose in this book is so beautifully written! I especially like the article "Lantern". The author connects lanterns with various emotions, which makes me feel the strong flavor and warmth of life. There is also "Memory of a Spinning Wheel", which is described in detail and makes me seem to see the hardworking people of that era. The storyline was real and touching, and gave me a deeper understanding of that era. Wu Boxiao's prose is always so simple and unpretentious, yet touching people's hearts.
The language is vivid and fluent, and there are deep truths behind the simple narrative. Rare prose.
