A Long Wind Across the Countryside

Country Roads and Long Winds is a long-form rural novel rooted in the land and confronting real life. Set in Linhe Village on the plains of northern Anhui, it tells the moving story of Lin Changfeng, a 26-year-old agricultural university graduate who returns to his hometown to take up a post. Through mud and storms, he finds a way forward and leads the villagers toward revitalization. The country winds sweep across the wheat fields of northern Anhui, but they also carry the upright spirit and enduring hope of grassroots officials in the new era, rooted in the land and devoted to the people.
