Moonlight Falls on the Mud

Eucalyptus globulus is never a single person, it is the epitome of two sides of human nature. The 400,000-word first part unfolds the soul's return journey: she and Lu Yan are separated by moral shackles, guarding the Yanzhi Bookstore and the thousand-acre medicine field. Their souls coexist, but they can never love each other. The platycodon blooms in the wilderness, and the ink scrolls are quiet. The two hide their restrained affection in the mountains, rivers and soil, fully expecting to stay together as souls of pure equality and without worldly transactions. Their long-term forbearance and shortcomings have opened a hole in their hearts that cannot be filled. Destiny gives birth to the compensation of the earthly body, and the second part spreads out in the muddy world. Dou Jia's encounter began with a price tag in the market. Rough fireworks wrapped in short-term tenderness filled her long-term lack of companionship. But this fate that relies on desire and survival is fragile. A silent farewell and a few withdrawn words will cut off all ties. One spirit and one flesh, one clean and vast, the other rough and muddy. Both relationships are out of control, half of them are spiritual salvation pursued throughout their lives, and half of them are worldly compromises caused by loneliness. The whole book uses fate as its background and uses imagery to dissect people's hearts. It does not judge right or wrong, but only records the half-life in which ideals and reality are eternally torn apart, waiting for people on the same page to understand the difficulties, tenderness and regret hidden between the lines. Concept: The core concept of the novel 1. Humanity's fate of eternal separation between spirit and body Human beings have both spiritual desires and physical constraints throughout their lives: the soul yearns for pure love without impurities, equality and symbiosis, but in reality, loneliness, depression, and the inability to love for a long time will drive the body to seek short-term comfort from the rough world. The ideal pure land and the muddy secular world cannot be reconciled. The two are pulling against each other, which is an inherent dilemma for everyone. 2. Don't judge human nature, objectively express your complete self Abandon black and white moral judgments. The heroine's two completely different relationships are not a choice between good and evil, but the inevitable result of trauma, loneliness, and shortcomings. Write calmly about people's fragility, compromise, desires and obsessions, accept their own imperfections, and complete inward self-examination and reconciliation. 3. All encounters are destined, regret is the normal state of life Pure soul fetters are trapped in moral shackles, and secular physical encounters cannot withstand the storm of reality. The two relationships, one long-term and restrained, the other short-lived and fragile, do not have a happy ending, which is intended to point out that fate never gives a perfect answer, and asking for nothing, and silent separation, is the real life of most people. 4. The binary contrast between ideal and reality The platycodon in the wilderness represents spiritual utopia, and the mud in the city represents the true nature of existence; two male symbols are used to reflect the two sides of life, and the imagery of eucalyptus globulus proves that half of people are always chasing the breeze in the mountains and the other half is trapped in the dust of the world. The two coexist, and one cannot exist without the other to form a complete life.
