Zhang Erdong
If you have a hidden heart, everything will end in the south. One person, two courtyards. There are mountains outside the courtyard and poems inside. During the days when I lived in the mountains, I planted vegetables, flowers, and paintings, planted apricot trees and bananas by hand, named every animal that lived with me, and turned the flowers and fruits in the mountains into poetic embellishments. I was satisfied every day and rich every year. He personally transformed the dilapidated tile-roofed house into a livable courtyard bit by bit, and also recorded the hardship and beauty of mountain living, as well as his observations and reflections on this kind of life. This time, "Living in the Mountains" (Collector's Edition) includes the wonderful texts in "Living in the Mountains" and "Goose Goose", which were personally screened and deleted by the author.

The product of eight years of accumulation, the book comes with a poster, including 41 excellent essays, and nearly 70 new photos and oil paintings.
