"Dreams Never Go to Xieqiao" written by Ye Guangqin, the standard bearer of Beijing-style novels and a "gege writer", is a collection of short and medium-length short stories selected by him. The work includes six short stories and short stories: "Zhuangyuan Matchmaker", "Xiaoyaojin", "Dream Never Goes to Xieqiao", "Fusang Pavilion", "Crossing Jiajin Mountain" and "Crow Callas".
Among them, the work about the theme of his hometown, Beijing, uses simple words, vivid descriptions, and delicate emotions to tell the stories of family members, relatives and friends inside and outside the big house in the capital. The content is based on the author's childhood memories, including his father's marriage, elder brother's marriage, etc. With his own growth, it reveals the helplessness of being nostalgic for the past glory of the descendants of the Manchu nobles and not wanting to make progress, and lamenting the decline of traditional culture, but it is sober but not desolate, neither plague nor impatient. The vivid language full of Beijing flavor makes the story of old Beijing more charming.
"Jiajin Mountain Crossing" is Ye Guangqin's time-travel novel. In the fog and confusion, people today encounter the Red Army who crossed the snow-capped mountains back then. "Crow Callas" is based on interesting anecdotes she experienced while living in Japan, reflecting the cultural differences in foreign countries and broadening her horizons.
Reader comments
This book is full of Beijing flavor. The author tells the story of old Beijing in vivid language, which made me feel the charm of traditional culture. Moreover, the characters in the book have distinct personalities and rich experiences, which made me think more about life. I think this is a book worth reading and recommend it to you!
Lively and interesting, with a long aftertaste! Worthy of being a first-class writer! ! [Love][love]
It's witty and smart, you can't help but laugh, happy to read it! ! [Laughing][laughing]
When Ye Guangqin writes about old Beijing, the palace, and animals, it seems like he has a split personality. Of course, the fun is the same. Even in a genre as heavy as Qingyu, she still has to write a scene that makes people laugh or cry like falling into her elbows. Writing about animals is a bit like being possessed. The animals in her works are all weird and cunning, more mythical than mythical.
I have read several of her novels about old Beijing, and they are very exciting. I even read some of them twice because I just couldn't bear it. Thanks!
I really like reading the stories about old Beijing written by Ye Guangqin.
This is the most Beijing-flavored book I have ever read. Through this book, I can learn about the history and customs of Beijing that spanned decades before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is very interesting and worth reading!
Beautiful, I like it very much
I really like the novel written by the author
Beijing Flavor and Rhythm, for me, a foreigner who has lived in Beijing for more than ten years, it is so comfortable to read, and the culture is so nourishing.
Rare writer, very fond of writing style
I shed tears while reading, and then continue reading after crying for a while. Why are there so few writers like this nowadays?
