Apricot Tree Bay

Using Xingshu Bay in the northwest countryside as the background, the life scroll of Lin Zhiyan and Su Wanhe is spread out from the corners of their hair to the frost-stained temples. The silence of the beacon tower and the dryness of the canals bear witness to their ignorance in carving "inkstone" and "grain" in the apricot forest, and their perseverance through separation and test in the wave of the times. The book contains the texture of the countryside: the rhythm of spring planting and autumn harvest, the customs of weddings and weddings, the kindness and discord of neighbors; there are also traces of changes: the transfer of land contracts, the separation of young people, the decline and rebirth of villages. In the end, although the old house in Xingshu Bay was demolished, its roots continued in the forest of apricot flowers. Every year during the flowering period, returning people and tourists all read in the fragrant breeze: some partings are actually another form of return.
