Synopsis
This book contains thirty-two essays written during Qijun's stay in the United States, the most productive period of his creative career. The essays are warm and touching, with a fresh and handsome prose style, in which the world, grass, trees, and animals are all humorous and lovely in Qijun's eyes, and the writing is vivid and spiritual, with the most touching relationships in the human world. From "the moon is bright in the hometown" to "water is sweet in the hometown", the famous poem "Water is Sweet in the Hometown" looks back to the hometown where he has lived for a long time from a distant foreign land and draws out the water of the hometown from the trivialities of life in the foreign land, linking up the water and soil of four places, namely, Sichuan, Hangzhou, Taiwan, and Germany, and brings together the life history of an individual that has been flickering in space and time, and conveys the feelings of a traveler in the mountain springs of Sichuan, the spring of his father that boils the Longjing tea, the mineral water of Europe, and the marble sodas of Taiwan. It reads with sincerity and sweetness.
