Recollection is human rumination. Chew yesterday. Yesterday is always rich, we have to face the colorful and noisy shallowness of today and tomorrow. Recollection is a cup of love water without pollution, which can nourish the tired soul and hungry cells. Generally speaking, when I think about the old self, it is a symbol of life that excludes the walking dead. Indulging in memories is like brewing a jar of wine, picking up yesterday's fragrance or tracing something else. For example, what kind of perfect and fragile seed is human life blown by the wind? If there were no memories, would the world still be smart? Our generation cannot cut down all the trees or pollute all the clean water. Our descendants are being born in a steady stream crying and shouting. I should really recall the wind, the doors and windows that the wind passed through, the mountains facing the doors, and the water in the windows. The door is closed. The window opens...

This book takes "Cities in Literature" as its theme and conducts research on urban expressions in literature during the "Seventeen Years" (1949-1966). Through specific text analysis, the ideological convergence process of conflict, adaptation, and differentiation between "socialist literature" and the capitalist "field" of "city" is examined, and then a literary expression of "socialist city" is explored. Although behind this expression lies the contradiction and inherent anxiety of "post-revolutionary" socialist ideology, it is an excellent perspective from which to analyze the legacy and lessons of China's socialism.

The edge of the river, the edge of the sea, is the edge of water. The bland edge, the salty edge, the raw edge. People on the margins tend to be numb. Dreams on the edge often wake up. The edge is a landscape. In a sense, the edge state is always a state of change, and it is also the best state that can activate people's thoughts and emotions. Between survival and destruction, either numbness ends or intelligence flashes. When people are on the edge, the grass is also on the edge, and the fish are also on the edge. Destiny and opportunity are all on the edge. From the edge of freedom to the edge of freedom, people are wary and have no barriers in their hearts. The thought of being on the edge makes the sea and the sky brighter. Borderline lonely. Beautiful around the edges. After being far away from myths, the marginal revelation is engraved on every grain of sand, growing on every reed, embedded in every fish scale, and carried on every pair of wings - between creation and disaster, between peace and violence, between happiness and pain. Between the ethereal and the material, between survival and destruction, we are all on the edge.

A beautiful, poignant and touching biography about the Yangtze River. The author traces the initial form of the ancient Yangtze River that flowed from east to west hundreds of millions of years ago, from the prelude of the wandering water to the end of rushing into the sea. Just like Xu Gang's previous style, sometimes it opens and closes, ups and downs; sometimes it is meticulous and penetrating. It integrates geography, history, characters, and culture, faces history and reality, and depicts full of sorrows on the background of the earth, teaching people to meditate in all directions. The book contains both detailed descriptions of the Yangtze River's century-old floods and creative blueprints for a Green China. The unique context permeates the lines. The consideration of the integrity of the earth gives the author an unforgettable warning: We are walking on a road of no return that is getting closer and closer to material wealth and farther and farther away from the rivers and the earth.
