Ye Mi's novel "Immortal" continues her overall idea of "writing China with Jiangnan" and continues the theme and style of her "Romance Picture Scroll". The novel is set in Wuguo City, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River in the late 1970s, as the environmental background, with the marriage and love life of female worker Kong Yanni as the main plot, showing the life status and living conditions of a group of ordinary people in an era of drastic changes. Ye Mi has no intention of constructing an epic grand narrative, but writes about daily trivial matters, human entanglements and changes in world affairs with delicate writing style. These humble lives interact with big history and reach the inner spirit of history in a secret way. The author has written a book of memories that can resonate with countless people.
