"Distant Sunflower Field" Author: Li Juan Publisher: Huacheng Publishing House Douban Books Top 250

This book is a collection of Li Juan's latest writings, which she started writing in the past two years and published in her column "The Distant Sunflower Field" at the Wenhui Daily Pen Club.

"Sunflower Field" is located on the south bank of the Ulungur River in the Altay Gobi grassland. It is a barren land contracted and cultivated by Li Juan's mother many years ago. As always, Li Juan uses her delicate and bright writing style to record the people working here and their simple and different life details: her hardworking and optimistic mother, her elderly and sick grandmother, the big and small dogs, the ugly dogs, the chickens, ducks and geese, and the 90 acres of sunflower fields that are flourishing but destroyed and replanted by goitered gazelles... It not only depicts the tenacity and hard work of the mother and the people in the border areas, but also their inner expectations and persistence, and also expresses their concerns about the environment and doubts about survival. It presents a fragile and tiny survival experience that is completely exposed to nature, but also full of fun and dignity.
