Following "Youth", an extraordinary legend about ordinary people, Yu Ge launched "Goose City Characters", a family history of ordinary people. Different from the realistic style of "Youth Travel", "Goose City Characters" is between fiction and reality, and reality and fantasy. In the fictional Goose City, the people and things originating from history and reality may be magical, ordinary, passionate, or tragic, but all of them are profound and profound, and all of them directly touch people's hearts. In this regard, "Goose City Characters" inherits the legacy of "Youth Tour" and jointly composes the life and death journey of small and medium-sized characters in the great era. If "Youth Travel" can be compared to "Picking Up Flowers in the Morning and Dusk", then "Characters of Goose City" is a journey through, thinking about and recording the "field of life and death". Yu Ge's writing is plain, restrained yet charming, and pays attention to white space. The stories in the book are like the smoke from the countryside, long and distant, and like tea before the rain, with endless aftertaste.
