Introduction to "One Sentence Is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences"

Introduction to "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences". The book is divided into two parts: "Records of Leaving Yanjin" and "Records of Returning to Yanjin". Most of the characters in the book are ordinary people at the lowest level in China. The upper part, "The Story of Leaving Yanjin," tells the story of a lonely and helpless farmer, Wu Moxi, who lost his only "speakable" adopted daughter on the road in the rural areas of Henan in the early twentieth century in order to find his wife who had eloped. One goes and another comes, delayed for hundreds of years. The story seems simple, but has a long aftertaste.
