Shen Lao's "Border City" is "a bright light that never goes out", a romantic masterpiece that transcends reality and integrates into ideals, pointing directly to the goodness and beauty in human nature, as Wang Zengqi said: "It is a nostalgic work, a nostalgia with sad emotions." "Border City" is a warm work, but behind it hides the author's deep sense of tragedy. ”
It expresses the beauty of human nature by expressing the love of men and women, the love of grandchildren, and the love of neighbors. "I want to keep something beautiful, eternal, so that it is always there and always new."
Some book critics once said that Shen Congwen was an "empty writer" whose works were not ideological. In the words of some readers: the work is too "idealized", the humanity of the pen is also very thin, and too much attention is paid to the freshness of the story.
But Shen Congwen's cousin Huang Yongyu commented on him like this: Shen Congwen's works are in the ascendant in the human world, and Shen Congwen's life is both smooth and prosperous. As the saying goes, benevolence is his duty, isn't it also important? After death, isn't it far away?
