"Primitive Landscape" Author: Chi Zijian Publisher: Writers Publishing House

This book includes four stories, "Primitive Landscape", "Wheat Ears", "Mei Nu on the Shore" and "Silver", all of which take place in remote and closed towns and relatively distant time and space. Therefore, the narrative language of this volume of novels has a more alienated and wonderful style, fresh and transparent. "Primitive Landscape" uses a childhood perspective and poetic language to trace memories and narrate family stories. With rich texture and abundant emotions, it enriches the literary meaning of the extremely cold land in multiple dimensions. "Mei Nu on the Shore" is a work inscribed by the author "Dedicated to Warmth and Love". The girl Mei Nu in it, like Xixi in "Wheat Ears" and Katya in "Silver", lives in a closed and remote town with different folk customs, but they are always fighting against the unbearable and injustice of this world. Therefore, their stories are particularly memorable.
