Forever Tea Garden

Jia Yu is a security guard at Century Tea Garden, a poet, writer, calligrapher, and a former consultant to the Overseas Chinese International Investment Group. He came from the mountains in the south, gave up college to write poetry, and drifted to the north to make a living. The tea garden is like an old teapot, filled with people and things coming and going from north to south. Standing guard during the day and writing poems at night, he guarded his literary dream. Reality has crushed the ideal time and time again: business failure, Lin Dan's marriage change, and repeated rejection of submissions. He knows how to invest and can write, but he has trouble settling down. It was not until the novel "The Voice of Wild Goose" came out, using the struggle of the bottom as the ink and the fragrance of tea as the rhyme, that he entered the literary world. After his new novel "A Walk in the Grand View Garden" was translated and introduced in various countries, he won the International Booker Award. After he became famous, he still remembers the cup of hot tea late at night. Ideal and reality, in his works, are like tea leaves touching water, slowly spreading out.
