An Archaeologist’s Notebook in the 1990S

In the height of summer in 1995, Y University in the United States sent a dismissal notice to its doctoral student, Su Xiaowan. Several days later, Su Xiaowan left campus alone, dragging her suitcase under the scorching sun, a faint, cold smile on her face. Across the ocean, Shen Weifeng was worrying about staffing for a challenging project when Su Xiaowan, fresh from the United States, appeared right in front of him. No way! Su Xiaowan absolutely won't do! Her thinking is bizarre, and she's frail. What could she possibly do if I send her to the far northwest? Determined to refuse Su Xiaowan's joining the archaeological project, yet unable to give up the secrets of the Su family's unique art, Shen Weifeng was torn with indecision. But Su Xiaowan had already made up her mind: Wherever you go, Shen Weifeng, I'm going too! Amid the vast sandstorms of the far northwest, how will Shen Weifeng cope with a foreign-trained female expert whose manner is thoroughly unlocal? (Avoid the pitfall: This is not an adventure novel, but a straightforward workplace story.) Readers' group for The Nineties: Archaeology Notes 903418945
