In the first impression of the people in Xizhen, Lin Xiangfu was a man with snowflakes on his body, his hair and beard covering his face, with a weeping willow-like humility and a field-like taciturn. Even if he later became the owner of Wanmudang and Muqishe, his humility and silence remained the same. His past was connected with a mysterious city, and no one knew why he was looking for a place that didn't exist. He originally didn't belong here, his hometown was in the far north. For a promise, he uprooted himself and wandered here. In the days to come, he had seen a warm and sincere heart, and had also seen cold and merciless blood. In the end, he was in vain, but many people's cares and tears remained on him.
Yu Hua, writer, professor of Beijing Normal University. Born in April 1960, he began writing in 1983. His main works include 'Brothers', 'Alive', 'Xu Sanguan Selling Blood', 'Screaming in the Drizzle', 'The Seventh Day' and so on. His works have been translated into more than 40 languages and published in more than 40 countries and regions. He has won the Italian Grinzana Carver Prize for Literature (1998), French Literature and Art Knight Medal (2004), French International Courier Foreign Novels Award (2008), Italian Giuseppe Archerbi International Literature Award (2014), Serbia Ivo Andric Literature Award (2018), Italian Portelli Rats Grinzana Literature Awards (2018) etc.
在溪镇人最初的印象里,林祥福是一个身上披戴雪花,头发和胡子遮住脸庞的男人,有着垂柳似的谦卑和田地般的沉默寡言。哪怕后来成了万亩荡和木器社的主人,他身上的谦卑和沉默依旧没有变。他的过去和一座谜一样的城联系在了一起,没人知道他为什么要找一个不存在的地方。他原本不属于这里,他的家乡在遥远的北方。为了一个承诺他将自己连根拔起,漂泊至此。往后的日子,他见识过温暖赤诚的心,也见识过冰冷无情的血。最终他徒劳无获,但许多人的牵挂和眼泪都留在了他身上。
