In Huangshaliang, a village where humans and animals cohabitate, Liu Er's greatest pleasure is wandering around the village: he plays with insects, watches other people working, greets the birds on the branches, and appreciates the smile of a flower; he understands the hardships of mice, feels the power of cows and horses, watches the wind tilt the shadows, and measures the distance of a gust of wind. He never opens the door when he goes to a house. He waits for the wind to blow the door open, then goes in, and the wind closes the door again. The biggest thing every day is to stand at the head of the village in the morning and welcome the sunrise alone. He understood the impermanence of life and death from the withering glory of a tree, and associated the fate of his ancestors from the cry of a bird. Liu Liangcheng drew on thousands of years of oriental poetic tradition, opened up a kingdom of words that is a spiritual habitat, and created an unparalleled Chinese classic so far.
Reader comments
This is a living village and a world seen by a lonely soul.
The seemingly ordinary vegetation, livestock, houses, etc. Are endowed with life and emotion.
The wind has its own whereabouts and thoughts, blowing through every corner, as if exploring the secrets of this village;
That tree has witnessed the changes of the village. It is more than just a tree, it is more like the guardian of the village's history;
Time flows slowly in the village. People work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The seemingly unchanged life is changing inadvertently.
The young people gradually grow up and leave the village, and the old people grow old slowly over the years.
And what about me?
Everyone moves forward alone on their own life track.
This night, I was walking in this village, and I was alone.
My loneliness suddenly became intense, and I thought that I would never be able to get rid of my loneliness.
Everyone spends the winter alone in their own lives.
We can't help anyone.
The characteristic of prose is "the form is scattered but the spirit is not scattered", which is vividly expressed in this book. A village has a yellow sand beam, so many words can be written around it. The author's writing style is fresh and elegant, free and easy, and there are many philosophies of life that you can chew on.
This book reminded me of my life in the countryside when I was a child. The author's description of the village was so delicate and true that it resonated with me. His observations and perceptions of life are also very profound, allowing me to see the poetry in ordinary life. I think this book is not only suitable for people who like rural life, but also for people who are busy in the city. It can make people slow down and feel the beauty of life. Liu Liangcheng is really a very talented writer!
When I read this book, I always felt a touch of melancholy, so I speculated that the author might be a bit pessimistic. When he was very young, he had already begun to look at the village and the people and things in the village with a mature and serious look. The simplicity and innocence of children left him early, and he was thinking constantly at that time. But he is still a child at heart. He is afraid of the dark, afraid of thieves, and always has some bizarre dreams. Many of the descriptions in the book can only be imagined by an imaginative child.
When Liu Er grew up, he added many adults' heavy nostalgia for his hometown when writing these words. No matter where his family moved, no matter how good his life was, he could never forget the village that raised him, and his roots were still there. This is of course not his own village, but when he observes and records the village from his own unique perspective, it becomes his own village.
A good book full of humanity. When you are so tired that you can't breathe, you can look at it and you can take a breath; when you are confused and can't find the way, you look at it and you seem to see the light again. Everything is separated by the fog, but it is extremely clear. As long as we get closer, and get closer...
There are no VIPs who haven't finished reading it, but the whole story is very bland and gradually leads to philosophical ideas.
I'll see if I can buy one during the summer vacation.

After reading this book, I have endless aftertaste. The prose is loose in form but not in spirit.
Good book

The world is powerful for people, but not for donkeys. Donkeys don't recognize the world. They only believe that donkeys in the circle have some relationship with people and the world, and people get along with the world through other people.
The author observes the world, the villages where he lives, and the people and animals around him from a novel, meticulous, observational, and childlike perspective. His writing style is delicate, his language is fresh, and it is very healing. It is an antidote for people who are trapped in the hustle and bustle and trapped in the anxiety of involution.
Use delicate and tiny details to truly tell a person's life, so that the viewer can see at one point that it is what we lived like. I can't write it but you have recorded it. People and all things coexist, and all things have animism. Let tangible things record the invisible time and give the past a look. Born here, after death, he will become the grass, trees and soil here and be integrated into it. This is my root, my destination
I don't have much time to observe other people's lives in detail, because I only have one life.
Give the land under my feet a bright light, coupled with the mysterious flame deep in my soul
Viewing the world and experiencing life from a perspective that is usually overlooked is worth buying a paper book, opening a page at will, chewing it carefully, and shocking your soul.
Well, tell the truth
Such writing language is really humorous
I have been an amateur writer for six years. After reading this book, I felt it was really powerful... Just two sentences left out are enough to make me think deeply...
I just finished reading the section "One Man's Village" and I was deeply moved.
If I could write an article of this quality in my life, I would almost die without regrets.
Light, dull, empty, solid, a little thinking, a little realization, a little sadness, a little relief
The author vividly demonstrates his love and thinking about the village and life through the observation and recording of various details such as horses, cows, birds, and ants in the village.
Vivid images and detailed descriptions
Very good, simple, true and readable!
Good, good, good, good, good
Looks good, looks good, looks great👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tell ordinary things in a new way and find something unique in ordinary places
It is written about a village of one person
Unique thinking and novel angles
I really like the way the author put into Zhuang Zhou Mengdie's thoughts
There are so many people in this world, which is noisy, and there are so many animals in this world, which are smart, but it makes people feel that only he is watching the world, and everyone else is acting.
Every sentence is so ordinary, yet so profound.
Through the author's eyes, I can see details that I usually don't pay attention to. It turns out that an ant or a piece of grass has its own emotions!
A village of one, a thinking soul, a transcendent person.
It's so beautiful. It makes us think about life and meaning. Sometimes it feels like it's in vain, as conveyed in "Snow Country".
