Synopsis of the story "Mist Locks Qingchuan"
Because of Lin Yanzhi's concern for his ancestors, he returned to his hometown Qingchuan from Shanghai. When he repaired the old house left by his grandmother, he accidentally started a journey of memories, warmth and inheritance. When he was sorting out old things, he discovered traces of the love between his grandmother and his grandfather Shen Tinglan - his grandfather died as a soldier on the border of Xinjiang, and his grandmother spent her whole life waiting. These stories became the original intention of his creation.
In Qingchuan, Lin Yanzhi met a group of warm people: the enthusiastic Aunt Zhang always cooked braised pork and gardenia tea for him, the skilled Uncle Wang used a bowl of beef noodles to preserve the fireworks of the town, Chen Yu, who was responsible for repairing the Qingxi Bridge, silently guarded the old memories of the town, and Grandpa Zhou treasured his grandfather's old diaries and military past events. With the publication of the "Fog Locked in Qingchuan" series of books, the story of Qingchuan has been seen by more people, attracting Beijing readers Su Xiao and Li Zhe. They were so impressed by the town that they stayed to open the "Qingchuan Family" B&B; Lin Yanzhi's old friend Zhou Ming also returned from abroad and jointly founded the "Qingchuan Time Bookstore", allowing the fragrance of books and stories to circulate in the town.
From retrieving the memory of his grandfather's comrade-in-arms Ma Wencai in Xinjiang, to holding a protection ceremony for a century-old locust tree, from discovering rock paintings in caves to excavating the history of Qingchuan, to preparing to build the "Qingchuan History and Culture Museum" to preserve folk customs and red memories, to holding summer camps to let children experience the beauty of the countryside, Lin Yanzhi and the people of Qingchuan have used actions to protect the context and warmth of the town.
The whole book is based on the four seasons of Qingchuan, connecting family, friendship, and nostalgia. It includes grandma's affection for waiting for grandpa, grandpa's passion for protecting the family and the country, and the love between neighbors.
