Due to the "anti-rightist" struggle, both Mr. Haowen and Professor Peng were sent to a place called Shuangzigou. And because of the death of Professor Peng, Mr. Haowen became anonymous and could only live under someone else's roof in Hexi, herding sheep, marrying a wife, and having children. Xia Zhong, who originally wanted to be a good doctor in Hexi, was forced to the precipice of life and emotions due to an extramarital affair. Life is waiting for his second choice. He was forced to take the college entrance examination for the second time, but fate played another joke on him. The university I want to attend happens to be the school where I worked and was sent to before. Later, while staying in school to work, he was often suspended from classes for no apparent reason. Throughout his life, he always lived in contradictions and absurdities. The other protagonist "I" also faces the absurd and empty reality. If we say that Mr. Haowen's absurdity is mainly due to external causes, career; while "I"'s absurdity is mainly due to internal causes, emotional. After the life-and-death teacher-student love affair when I was fifteen years old, I no longer believe in real marriage and love. So I put all my confusion about life and career into my search for the opposite sex. Falling in love more than a dozen times is another expression of helplessness towards the world and life.

Western literature is an indispensable plateau in the territory of contemporary Chinese literature. Some landmark writers and works have been produced here. The west is the birthplace of Chinese civilization and the inhabited area of ​​ethnic minorities. It has preserved rich folk culture due to its relatively closed, backward and remote characteristics. Since these folk cultures have been internalized into the daily lives of westerners, they have naturally become the main content that western writers want to describe. Therefore, to study western literature starting from western folk culture is to find the soul and blood of western literature. This book is the first comprehensive investigation and study of Western literature from the perspective of folk customs, folk beliefs, folk songs, dialects and other folk culture. It not only opens up a broad aesthetic space for Western literature and contemporary literature, but also finds rich spiritual resources for the research and creation of Western literature.

On this winding ancient road, the blood of good men traveling in all directions is rushing and stirring, and poetry and beautiful imagination of distant places have already set off. The setting sun is vast and the sunset is magnificent. Road means departure and return. This book follows the footsteps of time travelers and visits the poets who passed by on this road and their past events. The last song of frontier fortress poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty is not far away, and the song of new frontier fortress poetry has already resounded throughout the earth. Through the poet's affectionate eyes, we once again look for the moonlight at that time. The iron horse glacier, the majestic pass along the road, the grape wine, the Qiang flute and the pipa are all vaguely like a dream.
