Be Separated from the Hometown
Short Fiction与故土一拍两散
(us) Wang Zhaoyang
A wanderer and drifter. In the 1980s, the author went to the United States to study and tried to integrate into the United States to find his spiritual home and ideal world in this foreign country. However, the United States is not the paradise he imagined and cannot satisfy his pursuit of identity, love and freedom. Since then, he began his "wandering" life, "wandering" in the United States, China, Russia, Europe and other countries. The author tries to "break away from his hometown". In this book, he expresses his thoughts about the world objectively and sharply through what he sees, feels and thinks, and compares the differences in values between China and foreign countries, ranging from social phenomena to specific people and things. "Parted from My Homeland" discusses topics that are generally confusing to the world, such as spiritual home, elites, transformation, identity, etc. It may seem like a big topic, but it is down to the details, which is real and convincing.
