The Road Outside the Window and the Sea in My Heart

Book review of "The Road Outside the Window and the Sea in the Heart" (Author's Narration) When the road outside the window points to real responsibilities and the sea in our hearts surges with ideal tides, how should we deal with it? This novel is a sincere work that was conceived in front of my father's bedside and settled in countless late nights. It is not only the story of Lin Nan's family, but also the epitome of countless ordinary people who are struggling between reality and ideals. The collision of financial tables and literary manuscripts in the book, the dialogue between traditional stonemasonry spirit and avant-garde musical concepts, and the silence and explosion of three generations in the changing times are all my deep gaze on this impetuous era. I want to explore: When the burden of life is pressing down like a mountain, can we still hear the sound of the ocean tide deep in our hearts? When the memories of our fathers gradually fade away, how should we use words as monuments to engrave names and stories that should not be forgotten? Writing this book is a reconciliation with my parents and a dialogue with myself. I hope these words can become a window, allowing readers to see the tenacity and glimmer of ordinary life, and never forget the sea in their hearts on their own journeys. (This book is a tribute to all ordinary people who cultivate ideal flowers in real soil) This is not a distant story, this may be your, mine, or our parents' life. Looking forward to meeting you in the book. "The road outside the window and the sea in the heart" A sincere work that allows you to see yourself and gain strength.

Recording the past events of her father's generation of stonemasons was her heroic dream in her tired life. When the "road" of reality is approaching step by step, can the "sea" in your heart still sound like a tide?

"Stones can be broken, but aspirations cannot be taken away. Roads can be crooked, but hearts cannot be bent." "The charm of non-fiction writing does not lie in the pursuit of novelty and sensationalism, but in presenting the complexity, resilience and dignity of life through precise details, restrained narration and profound understanding. Your role should not be a superior judge or a compassionate sensationalist, but a humble and empathetic 'translator', who can accurately and infectiously 'translate' one life experience to another, allowing different souls to communicate." "Plowing deeply is not to gain applause, but to protect the memory. Every silent stone has witnessed an era. And what we can do is to let these stones speak." The story unfolds from Lin Nan's perspective, starting from when Lin Nan picked up a pen and started writing. After experiencing various crises such as family financial crisis, birth, old age, illness and death, quarrels and cold wars, she gradually found her own creative path. Zhou Yu also gradually grew up. In conversations with his mother and grandfather, he gradually understood the source of art and life, and found a balance between modern technology and historical narrative. Although the road was difficult, Lin Nan received help and support from many people. With unremitting efforts, Lin Nan's family successfully demonstrated the silent dedication of the older generation, allowing the spirit of "paving the stone road" to be seen and passed on. The power of labor is the most glorious.
