The Land Beneath the Courtyard House

When I opened this book, what struck me first was not the grand narrative of family and country, but the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the valley of western Hunan, and the life of the ordinary couple beside the Diaojiaolou. The story begins in the 17th year of the Republic of China. The bandit grandfather Wu Yusheng and the landlord grandmother Zeng Yuangui used tenacity and tenderness in the turbulent years to turn their love into a light that can withstand the long years. There are no vigorous oaths, only the fine soles worked out stitch by stitch, which is the calmness that does not make a fuss when encountering difficulties; it is the bottom line that she corrects when her grandfather is ridiculous; it is her shoulders that hold up a piece of sky on the ruins when the family is in trouble. The author said that this is "the path I was born on and the source of energy for the rest of my life." This cherishing of family memories makes the text full of warmth - the style of Xiangxi is not an embellishment, but a nostalgia engraved in the bones and blood; the feelings of family and country are not a slogan, but a belief that the ancestors and fathers have practiced throughout their lives. The so-called "big heroine" has never been a brave and independent appearance, but the strength hidden in the silent back: it is the dignity that can support the family, withstand the heavy blows of the years, and the tenacity and calmness sewn into the daily life of fireworks. This kind of love, this kind of life, ordinary but great, simple but moving. It allows us to see that mountains and rivers thousands of miles away have always been hidden in the firewood, rice, oil and salt of every ordinary family, and hidden in the perseverance and inheritance of each generation. A very good novel

I love this book "Mountains and Rivers in the Siheyuan" so much! The author uses family memories as a pen to perfectly integrate the stilted buildings in western Hunan and the fireworks of the Osmanthus Valley with the changes in the country over the past century. There are no suspended cool novel routines, only the most real years: the life-long love of the bandit grandpa and the landowner grandma. The grandma's tenacity with gentleness as armor bloomed the most touching flowers in the difficult years. The text is full of sincerity and warmth, and the feelings of home and country, the customs of Xiangxi, and family past events are perfectly blended. Each page hides an exclusive memory. The more you read, the more you read! I finally finished reading it. This book is really wonderful.

With sincere and delicate brushwork, the author vividly reproduces the turbulent years when the older generation struggled and forged ahead, with deep affection and respect between the lines. This work not only has a profound historical texture and humanistic warmth, but also shines with the spirit of perseverance and selfless dedication. We sincerely recommend that contemporary readers read it calmly, draw strength from looking back, and strengthen their beliefs from inheritance.

The author must be a person with a rich life. The plot of the story is compact and vivid, the content is rich and colorful, the writing is smooth and delicate, and he is very familiar with the things in the mountain village. The narration is very natural. It is not a cool article or even a cool article👍👍👍

Hidden in the cinnamon fragrance of the Diaojiaolou in western Hunan is the joy and sorrow of a family spanning hundreds of years. The love between the bandit grandpa and the landowner grandma, and the gentleness of the grandma have all turned into the most touching feelings of family and country over the years. Ordinary things have the power to withstand a long time.

Fireworks hide expressions, and years show strength. On a bright and clear spring night, sipping a cup of coffee and slowly listening to the stories of my grandparents. Grandpa's tenacity and grandma's chivalrous tenderness immediately made my eyes moist. That ancient and affectionate story seemed to emerge in my mind...

The author is very imaginative and the storyline is very creative. It gives people a sense of painting and is very attractive. The protagonist's character is likeable, and the plot advances layer by layer. Not only is the writing exquisite and nuanced, but the plot of the story is also reversed. Every step is intertwined, making people have to keep reading, and firmly grasped my attention. The character creation of each character is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Highly recommended!

The story and growth of the Republic of China, the protagonist's growth is realistic, it's okay!

This book is rich in emotions and the plot is touching. It uses family history to show the feelings of the family and the country. I really like the description of the courtyard house and this style. Come on, author 😘 😘 😘
