Northeastern Rural Love Story
A small mountain village in the Changbai Mountains, a lost paradise of rural love in Northeast China. Era. Reality. The theme of ganging up. A novel that fully explores human nature, love, hate, and resentment in everyday rural areas...





































































































The book is narrated from the perspective of a first-person horse, using the life of the red horse "Fire Dragon" to connect decades of rural life in Northeast China. It is a very innovative expression of local literature. The fire dragon was born longing for freedom and the love of its kind, but it was domesticated by humans. It was shoed and pulled a plow and drove a car all day long. The body returned to labor, but the soul always retained the desire for primitive freedom and love. It cannot speak to people's hearts, but as a bystander, it fully witnesses the love-hate entanglement between the Zhou family and the Liu family. The pure instinctive desires of animals form a strong contrast with the complex and tangled emotions of humans.
The story is rooted in the countryside of Northeast China, chronicling the daily fireworks in the fields. It uses the eyes of horses to witness the deep friendship between a pair of sisters growing up together, and also records the tenderness of the interdependence between land, livestock and farmers. There are two tender bonds hidden in the book: one is the pure and passionate longing for love in the horse's heart, even if the body is tamed by the reins, the soul always yearns for the wilderness and companionship; the other is the unyielding presence of sisters in the world, supporting each other in ordinary days, soft and powerful. The author's writing is simple and delicate, without deliberately sensationalizing, but slowly unfolds the unique tenderness and vicissitudes of the farming era. The desire for freedom of livestock, the simple love and hate of ordinary people, and the warmth and coldness of local people are intertwined. The joys and sorrows of the world are reflected from the perspective of animals, and the pattern is gentle and thick. Different from ordinary local literature, it breaks away from the routine of simply writing about people, and uses the perspective of living creatures to understand the countryside, companionship and freedom. It is suitable for readers who prefer local literature, healing and tender narratives, and who like unique narrative perspectives.
"The Gelding Yearning for Love" uses the horse's first-person narration, which is particularly clever in its conception. The preface carefully depicts the old horse's aging body, and details such as the fallen teeth are vivid and concrete, with a full sense of atmosphere. The book tells the longing for love from the perspective of a horse, eloquently expresses the animal's dilemma and inner longing, and uses the situation of the horse as a metaphor for the shackles of the human world. The text is delicate and healing, and contains a deep yearning for freedom and love.
Using a red horse named Fire Dragon as the first narrator is the most unique and moving idea of this book. It carries the fireworks of the Northeastern countryside, tells the story of the shackles of a horse, and witnesses the deep love that ordinary people have been entangled in for half a lifetime. It combines the desolation of the end of the farming era with the warmth of the world.
The novel begins with the horse "Fire Dragon"'s autobiography, taking root in the rural life of Northeast China, and blends the horse's obsession with love and freedom with the human entanglements of the owner's family. It is not only a record of the fate of a livestock, but also an elegy for the fading farming era. It has a novel perspective and delicate emotions, adding profound humanistic emotion to ordinary local stories.
The gelding named Longing for Love is destined to miss the chance to have a perfect relationship. The animal is used as a metaphor for the lonely and struggling soul, full of the sadness of not getting what you want. The words are delicate and depressing, expressing the endless regret of being full of enthusiasm but never being able to go to your true love.
Looking back at the rural years in Northeast China from Lao Ma's unique perspective, it is gentle and profound. It witnessed the childhood sweethearts of the owner's family, the tenderness between sisters, and also witnessed the end of farming civilization. The body is shackled, but the soul is always yearning for wilderness and love. The lines are full of nostalgia for the old days. In the era of mechanization, old horses are eliminated, and the sadness of the disappearance of the countryside is expressed. It is a simple and moving elegy for farming.
"Gelding Yearning for Love" depicts the rural scenery from the perspective of a horse, with delicate and vivid text. It uses the animal's desire for freedom and warmth to metaphor the ordinary life's yearning for beauty. It has a strong sense of rural atmosphere, and the words are full of tenderness and sadness.
This is the first time I read a book from this perspective. It's amazing to see the joys and sorrows of the world from a horse's perspective! The Fire Dragon Pony was "tricked" into falling in love and nailed an iron paw, but he witnessed the young master's persistence in his paraplegic first love, and even witnessed the shocking devotion between the sisters. This made me understand: true love is never about asking, but about being willing to support you; and even if life is shackles by reality, as long as the soul is free, you will always have the courage to return to the wilderness.
The protagonist of this book is a horse, an old horse. The old horse served his master all his life and formed a deep friendship. In its twilight years, it recalled its life from birth to death, the relationship between itself and its little master, the little master's family, the little master's two marriages, etc., Vividly showing the great changes in our country's countryside.
Many people are like this horse, bound by fate, reality, and objective shackles. Although they are full of longing for love and companionship in their hearts, they are destined to not get it. The mutilation of the body is the surface image, but the deeper part describes the life of ordinary people trapped by the shackles of life, and the loneliness of being full of enthusiasm and having nowhere to put it. The text is restrained and delicate, reflecting human regrets from an animal perspective. The tragedy is subtle and profound, and the aftertaste is long.
Memoirs of an old country horse. Reminiscing about how we struggled with the owner and his family from birth to old age. Finally, with the advent of the mechanization era, many old horses were killed by their owners, but the owner of this horse was reluctant to part with it, so the topic turned to the harmonious symbiosis between humans and horses...
The last elegy on horseback is written for the countryside, for freedom, and for the time that is gone forever. The deceitful horse with its body cut off is just like countless creatures that have become speechless in the process of urbanization - the body is imprisoned, but the soul is always running towards the wilderness. The story is poignant and desolate, and every word hits my heart like the sound of hooves. The so-called "yearning for love" is nothing but yearning for a kind of dignity of life that cannot be tamed.
This book chooses Lao Ma as the narrative subject, with a novel and unique perspective. The chapter begins with the physiological details of aging, and the simple text outlines the appearance of a dying horse, with delicate and realistic brushwork. On the surface, it tells the story of a gelding's desire for love, but on the deeper level, it expresses the vision of breaking free from restraint and pursuing tenderness and freedom. The story has a touch of melancholy and a long meaning, which can arouse the soft feelings in the readers' hearts.
The work uses simple brushstrokes to outline the natural daily life in the countryside, and uses the experience of horses to express the hope for bondage and love. The description of the scene is vivid and empathetic, and the plain narrative hides thoughts about freedom and true love. It is a quiet and moving read.
"The Cheating Horse Yearning for Love" uses a very ingenious animal narrative perspective, using a red horse named "Fire Dragon" as the first person to narrate his life. It hides the fireworks and human relationships in the northeastern countryside and the love-hate bonds of three generations in the eyes of an old horse that is castrated and trapped in farming but always longs for freedom and love. It is not only a gentle and long-lasting rural love, but also a sad elegy for the end of farming civilization.
The narration from the first-person perspective of the horse is very novel. It not only has the warmth of the Northeastern countryside, but also uses the life experience of the old horse to write an elegy for the slow end of the farming era. The details are delicate and moving.
The gelding is full of longing for love, and carries the sadness of its unfulfilled fate from beginning to end. It uses the fate of animals to write about people's unrequited desires, and the atmosphere is sentimental and heart-wrenching.
