Synopsis

In the wave of urban renewal, a village uses memory to fight against forgetfulness. In order to complete his thesis, Xu Maizhe returned to his hometown that was about to be demolished, but he was involved in a battle to defend the ancestral hall. The discovery of the grain loan deed reversed the fortunes of the century-old temple, and the surprising discovery of ancient tombs from the Ming Dynasty subverted the value of the land. Surrounded by bulldozers, developers, netizens, scholars and returning tourists, he and his "weird" teammates tried to rebuild not only buildings on the ruins, but also the emotional connections and cultural roots of a discrete community. This is a profound slice of the contemporary destiny of "rural China." It's about demolition, but also about how we carry our memories into a new tomorrow.

Reader comments

Between the roar of bulldozers and the silence of the grain loan contract, "Memory of Maijiacun" completes a profound inquiry about roots. Xu Maizhe's return home is not only an academic field, but also a difficult verification of his father's innocence. The threshold wiped by Qi Po, the flickering candles in the ancestral hall, the cold contract signing rate in the data sheet - all the details tell: Protecting memory is a longer-term reconstruction than demolishing a building. This book allows us to see that under the iron curtain of urbanization, there is still undying warmth growing stubbornly between the cracks of the bricks.

This is a realistic novel, involving the theme of rural demolition. It describes everyone's journey during this special period and their efforts to protect the village. The author has not finished updating it yet, and will continue reading.

It's very relaxing to watch and doesn't burn your brain. The plot is available online.

Are There Any Novels with Novel Ideas and Exciting Stories?

For example, Konoha Academic Master, Endless Murder Book, Write Your Destiny, Infinite Reincarnation Game, etc. I don't need to recommend the familiar ones such as Dali, Replica Mirror, God Slayer, etc. -_-||
