As a first-tier city, Shenzhen is very different from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Its grassroots, lively and youthful urban characteristics are well known. The author of this book, Wang Guohua, uses his personal experience and delicate writing style to write about the northerners' experiences when they first came to Shenzhen to work hard and their insights into living in Shenzhen. He also recorded the stories of Shenzhen's streets and alleys. It not only described the scenery, but also compared the foreign land and his hometown. He conducted more in-depth research and thinking on some well-known characteristics of Shenzhen and even the Lingnan region. As a work that reflects the personal geographical evolution of new immigrants in the city, this book shows the author's life in Shenzhen from his hometown to a foreign land. However, it does not stop at describing the appearance of a city, but presents a way of life and thinking through meticulous writing, which is full of emotional tension and the reality of details.

This is the third book in the "Street and Alley Chronicles" series, and it is appropriately named "Shenzhen Body Temperature". I have always thought that Wang Guohua was an ambitious writer. This stout man, who grew up in the water town of Jiangnan and studied in Northeast China, is actually very sensitive in his heart. Falling plumeria can also cause ripples in his heart. So he moved his family to Shenzhen because of the flowers that decorate the city. He walked around unfamiliar streets with a camera and recorded his tender feelings and the fireworks of the world in words. Unknowingly, Wang Guohua successively wrote "Streets and Alleys: Walking and Writing", "Streets and Alleys: Shenzhen Is Already Hometown", and this book "Streets and Alleys: Shenzhen's Body Temperature". This trilogy is the work of Wang Guohua who got to know Shenzhen, entered Shenzhen, and later regarded Shenzhen as his spiritual hometown. Different from other masterpieces that describe the ups and downs of the business world and the rise of high technology, these poetic and warm words are written on the streets and alleys, small shops and vendors, flower markets, former residences and ancient cities, etc., In an attempt to depict the spiritual picture of a generation in Shenzhen.

Shenzhen is a coastal city with water everywhere. Water is the soul and essence of Shenzhen. The word "Shenzhen" itself has an inseparable relationship with water. What is the form of water? Rivers, lakes, seas, wells, waterfalls, rain... What are the things related to water? Bridges, umbrellas, fish, boats... This book is the sixth in the author Wang Guohua's "Street and Alley Chronicles" series. Different from the previous books, this book is all written around the water in Shenzhen, covering Lingdingyang, Maozhou River, Dasha River, Lixin Lake, Enshang Reservoir, Shajing Well, Maluan Mountain Waterfall, Yongxing Bridge, etc. There are 21 texts in total, divided into four chapters, the longest is more than 15,000 words, and the shortest is three to five hundred words. The author spent five years inspecting the large and small water systems in Shenzhen, looking at and talking to the water, and looking at another aspect of Shenzhen from the waves and the sound of the waves. The water systems in the book each have their own characteristics and are complementary, from which we can get a glimpse of the core of life in Shenzhen.

This book is Wang Guohua's work about writing about flowers and about himself. The two hundred and fifteen kinds of flowers I write about are all those I have seen with my own eyes, or copied their shapes, or described their states. I do not seek to become an encyclopedia, let alone be absolutely accurate. I just want to write down the flowers I have seen, understood, and cared about. The flowers in the painting are either lively, melancholy, indifferent, or transcendent, and they have become spiritual lives. Reading them feels like meeting old friends, or talking to confidants. On the surface, you write about flowers, but in reality, you describe yourself. When I read about each flower, I see thousands of corners of Wang Guohua's inner world. Prose is a first-class work that can express the richness and richness of the spiritual world. The reason for this achievement is that every time he writes about a kind of flower, he gets closer to look at it, bends down to listen to the language of flowers, erases all prejudices, and touches them with the eyes of a baby. The careful observation and the true emotion make the prose a masterpiece.

This book tells the story of the changes in Qingluo Island in Zhoushan during the period of reform and opening up and the transformation of fishermen's production: Xiumei, Haisheng, and Zhiping, a group of fishermen's sons and daughters, under the devastation of disaster and snobbery, went from sluggish to vigorous, actively seeking new production mechanisms, and through the practice of contradictions, internal friction, and mutual assistance in independent production, they improved their cognition and moved towards unity. In the process, some emotional entanglements also occurred. This book reflects that fishermen face the specific natural geographical environment of the island and face the ups and downs of life. With kindness, optimism, and open-mindedness, they have the courage to forge ahead, work hard for the construction of new fishing villages, constantly create new businesses, and eulogize the principles and policies of reform and opening up and the spirit of the fishermen's children to keep up with the development of the times and make unremitting efforts.
