"Border Town" is a novella written by Shen Congwen and first published in 1934. This is a novel with Shen Congwen's temperament, pure and poetic, and a classic work of modern literature. Shen Congwen used his unique "beautiful, healthy, natural and not contrary to human nature" writing style to describe the ordinary life of an old man, a girl and a yellow dog living in a family in Chadong, a small town. Shen Congwen has been engaged in the study of ancient cultural relics since he stopped literary creation in 1949. He is a literary master with a unique temperament, combining the poetry of a writer and the rigor of an antiquarian.
