Home: After traveling, look back at your hometown on the earth
In this noisy and impetuous era, we all seem to be constantly on the go, chasing those unattainable dreams. However, in this busy life, have we ever stopped and looked back at the place that once warmed our hearts - hometown?
"Hometown on the Earth" published by Yilin Publishing House is Liu Liangcheng's first work after winning the award, and it is also his return work after many years. In this work, Liu Liangcheng uses Tao Yuanming's leisurely self-satisfaction and Miyazaki's ethereal imagination as brushstrokes to affectionately depict the land and hometown, allowing us to feel the long-lost tranquility and serenity.
As a writer known as the "contemporary Tao Yuanming", Liu Liangcheng not only shows his awe and love for nature in his words, but also confirms his ideas in his practical activities. In 2014, he founded the first artist village in Xinjiang, Caizigou, and established the Mulei Academy. In this place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, he uses his actions to show us an ideal way of life that ploughs and reads.
Here, people live in harmony with nature and enjoy the joy of working and learning. Liu Liangcheng personally practiced the lifestyle of farming and reading, and poetically inhabited between ideals and reality. His lifestyle and creative philosophy allow us to see a possibility - that is, to maintain a peaceful heart in the hustle and bustle of the world, and to feel the beauty of life with our hearts.
Liu Liangcheng's writing is full of spirituality, and his vision of the world is unique and profound. In his writings, a flower and a gust of wind have their language and story. This style of writing reminds us of the delicate depiction of details and the unbridled imagination of Hayao Miyazaki's animations.
With its unique perspective and vivid brushstrokes, "Morning in the Rapeseed Valley" leads readers into a quiet and vibrant rural world. Here, every birdsong and every ray of sunshine is particularly precious. Through the delicate observation of natural elements, the author shows the beauty and tranquility of rural life, making the reader feel as if they are in this poetic place.
"The Moon is Calling" has a very unique perspective, depicting the night in the countryside picturesquely. Through the delicate observation of the moonlight, the author shows the tranquility and mystery of the rural night, making the reader feel as if they are in this poetic place.
"Waiting for a Mouse to Die of Old Age" and "Half a Winter of Two Mice" show the small blessings of rural life. "Cats in Our Yard" allows readers to feel the cuteness of animals and the beauty of life through the observation of cats and geese......
Liu Liangcheng has always observed the world from a childlike perspective, explaining complex truths in simple and pure language. He made us see the magic and beauty of nature, and also made us understand the close connection between human beings and nature.
Perhaps, "Hometown on the Earth" is not only a work about hometown, but also a philosophical reflection on life and nature. Such words are undoubtedly a sobering medicine for many people in today's society.
