Mao Award winner Liu Liangcheng: This society needs idlers
Liu Liangcheng's life experience is colorful, he was an authentic farmer, farmed, worked as a township agricultural machinery manager, and learned the art from carpenters and blacksmiths. These experiences not only provided rich material for his writing, but also deeply rooted his soul in this land. One such work is his collection of essays, One Man's Village, which gives the reader a taste of rural life as it is, as if they could smell the scent of the earth and touch the morning dewdrops.
For Liu Liangcheng, writing is a kind of homecoming of language. He believes that every sentence is a destination for the soul. Many writers may find country life uneventful and lacking inspiration. However, Liu Liangcheng firmly believes that the countryside is the richest source of creativity. The countryside he paints is the mist in the morning, the smoke in the evening, and the stars at night, each of which contains the language of art. He objected to the formalization of writing, believing that it would kill the soul of the written word.
Although many writers choose to move to the bustling cities after becoming famous, Liu Liangcheng has never left his hometown. For him, the land that nurtured him was his spiritual home. His roots are here, and no matter where he is, he can't let go of this deep affection for his hometown.
In the fast-paced modern life, Liu Liangcheng reminds us that society needs idlers, and life needs leisure. We are so busy that we forget to stop and think about what we really want in life. Perhaps, we should learn to slow down, calm down, reflect on the past, examine the present, and look forward to the future.
Liu Liangcheng's hometown is not only a geographical concept, but also a broader existence. A grain of dust, the rustle of a leaf, the flight of a bird, a white cloud drifting by, and even the whisper of the wind all carry the shadow of home. In this sense, everyone has their own home, which is in our memories, in our emotions, in the depths of our souls.
We are busy every day, chasing the pace of life, but maybe we really need to stop once in a while and find that spiritual home of our own. As Liu Liangcheng said, hometown is everywhere, as long as we are willing to find, feel, and cherish. Let us not forget the cloud in our hearts, the hometown that belongs to us, while we are busy.

His parents, in order to make a living, left their homeland and traveled to Xinjiang, where he spent his childhood.

Once we leave our hometown, our hometown becomes 'homesickness', and we get a chance to write about our hometown. This sentence expresses his deep attachment to his hometown.
On Gulangyu Island, Liu Liangcheng saw a mulberry tree with the same name as his hometown, smelled the smell of shrimp noodles, and heard the cicada song similar to the insect cry of Mulei Academy.
