Introduction · · · · · ·
1958-2007, miniaturizing the changes of the times over the past fifty years, interpreting the subtle emotions of human nature. Lu Zhichang, the designer of "China's Most Beautiful Book", was responsible for the design.
"Hope for Spring Breeze" is Ge Fei's first novel after he won the Mao Dun Literature Prize. It is also a mature work that brings together the essence of his 30 years of literary creation. "Hope for Spring Breeze" has the significance of miniaturizing the contemporary history of rural China, and attracted much attention from the literary world, media and readers during the creation process.
For every Chinese, the countryside is an unavoidable spiritual source. "Looking for Spring Breeze" completes an almost impossible journey back to the hometown, with the idea of returning to the "past" to look at the "present", the lingering and worth-chewing historical fragments, the "Peach Blossom Spring" atmosphere placed against the background of the long river of time, and the hand-scroll writing style that tells a story like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", depicting the vividness of rural China, discovering the noble qualities of ordinary people, and freezing the eternal moments of daily life.
The "Jiangnan Trilogy" writes about Jiangnan, while "Wang Chunfeng" is the most focused, concentrated and thorough expression of the Jiangnan story. Compared with the "Jiangnan Trilogy", "Wang Chunfeng" is more down-to-earth, more stable, and warmer, and pays more attention to the beauty of human feelings in the countryside under the torrent of the times. In the contemplation of history, with a grand and exquisite structure and extremely sophisticated and skillful words, it bids farewell to the Chinese countryside over the past half century. At the same time, it opens a small mountain pass for readers, "as if there is light."
