[Sun] Title: Distant Sunflower Land
[Sun] Author: Li Juan
The author's mother once contracted a wasteland on the south bank of the Urungu River in the Altai Gobi steppe and planted 100 acres of sunflowers, and the text in this book records the scenery, animals and people in this sunflower field, as well as the gathering and sorrow of people and people, people and things, carrying the author's youth, memory and hope.
People who have read Li Juan's articles have all lamented the agility between the lines, and even often surprised people, perhaps because the picturesque scenery of the Gobi Desert and the extreme lack of material life have given her this magic of controlling words.
Here we can see the mother's tenacity and bitterness, lament the grandmother's extremely ordinary life, here is the joy of chicken flying dog jumping and the spiritual scarecrow, in the delicate microscopic description, we can always strongly feel her strong atmosphere macroscopic.
Definitely a book that allows you to immerse yourself in it, and is highly recommended.
[Sun] Book Excerpts:
[Breeze] When I was young, I loved everything. When I grew up, I forgot that I actually loved everything.
[Breeze] There is no wind, and the fields are as quiet as if they were sealed in old photographs. Only the sunflower, waiting to grow.
[Breeze] I thought again, are people worn down by time? No. Man is worn out by all kinds of parting.
[Breeze] She wanted to confide in everyone in the world about the beauty of this cloud. She thought: Before you talk, you have to think about what to say. So she stood there thinking, thinking. The clouds slowly changed, gradually became ordinary. The words in her mind grew more and more gorgeous.
