In this story, Yu Hua writes about a new female figure. Ji Xiaomei is more complex and multifaceted than any of the women he writes about, soft and hard, tame but rebellious. Every choice she made driven by fate, her luck or misfortune in that chaotic era, touched the heartstrings of readers even more.
"All I have to do is write, I just go home." Yu Hua once said, "Every time I write, I go back to the south. The town in my current narrative is already an abstract southern town, a psychological hint and an imaginary destination. ”
"Where is Wencheng?"
"There will always be a place called Wencheng."
Is "Wencheng" a small town in Jiangnan, the "psychological hint" and "imaginary destination", or is it a relatively distant and unfamiliar northern land? It is also left for readers to get their own answers from "Wencheng".
Life is the prologue to one's own past and others'. About a man and his lifelong search, and a group of people and a turbulent era. Wonderful and exciting, live up to the wait!
