The book "Human Grass" is my favorite book that I have read so far.
The writing is sincere, full of positive energy and enthusiasm for life. Unlike ordinary prose, Mr. Wang's book is full of fireworks. It’s simply a guide for young people who want to eat, drink and have fun. Full of joy in life. It can be seen between the lines that Mr. Wang is an optimistic and open-minded writer.
The author, Mr. Wang Zengqi, was born into a wealthy family that was both a farmer and a businessman. He is a famous contemporary novelist, essayist and dramatist. He once served as a cadre of the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles, editor of "Beijing Literature and Art", and editor of the Beijing Peking Opera Theater. He is known as "a lyrical humanitarian, China's last pure literati, and China's last scholar-official". A wealthy family and an enlightened family atmosphere allowed Mr. Wang Zengqi to receive a good education since he was a child and lay a solid foundation in literature. The imprint of his early life is directly reflected in the prose style of his novels.
"Plants and Trees in the World" is a selection of chapters from a large number of essays written by him. Most of it was done in the second half of his life.
This book is suitable to be placed beside the pillow. It is a very happy thing to read it when it is empty. But don’t read the articles in the Sifang Shishi series at night, otherwise you may be drooling and get up in the middle of the night to look for food.
This is a healing book that can treat all kinds of unhappiness. If you feel depressed, you may not feel depressed after reading this book.
If you compare books to beautiful women. So this book belongs to the kind of beauties that make people find it interesting to read and feel comfortable to get along with. She is neither voluptuous and gorgeous, nor cold and mysterious, nor is she pretentious; she cannot be called dignified and elegant, but she is definitely not Xiaojiabiyu. Rather, she is an interesting woman who is full of energy, understands life, and loves life.
The book "Plants and Trees in the World" is divided into seven major series, namely: Plants and Trees in the World, Food in Four Directions, Clouds and Smoke under the Feet, Years of the General Assembly, Photo Album of Teachers and Friends, Ordinary Life, and Miscellaneous Articles.
The Grass and Trees of the World talks about Mr. Wang Zengqi’s childhood life, flowers, trees, and local scenery. Sifang Food is about food from all over the world. Especially the delicacies from Mr. Wang’s hometown were mentioned many times. Mr. Wang Zengqi is from Gaoyou, Jiangsu Province. He particularly praises the salted duck eggs from his hometown in Gaoyou, and is quite proud of them in Sifang Food. However, he is not very happy when strangers praise Gaoyou duck eggs, as if they only produce duck eggs there! The pickled vegetable and mushroom soup mentioned in the article "Food from Hometown" is almost a must-have food in winter. It has been mentioned in several articles. I have never eaten this and I am very curious about it.
Yunyan on the soles of your feet talks about the famous attractions you see when traveling to various places. Mainly write about the history and culture of the scenic spots.
Years at Lianda University is about Mr. Wang Zengqi’s unforgettable years when he was studying at Lianda University in Kunming, Yunnan Province when he was young. The photo album of teachers and friends mainly tells about the conduct, appearance and appearance of several teachers and friends such as Shen Congwen and Jin Yuelin.
Ordinary Life is about Mr. Wang Zengqi’s grandparents, parents and his own home.
The article mainly talks about Mr. Wang’s creative career and the creation of novels and short novels. Mr. Wang's articles are beautiful, humane and full of humanistic interest.
Mr. Wang Zengqi has this self-evaluation: "Recording people's affairs, writing about scenery, talking about culture, telling anecdotes, and touching on plants, trees, insects, fish, melons, fruits, and food are all sentimental. It is also gratifying to do a little research in between. He talks eloquently, has a friendly attitude, and is not reserved. "This is his characteristic.
Mr. Wang has several hobbies, including writing, painting and cooking. Where others go to shopping malls, he only goes to the vegetable market. He is a real gourmet. As the old saying goes, eating and drinking of men and women leads to great desires. Eating is the most primitive desire of human beings. People who love food have sunshine in their hearts, bringing them warmth and hope.
A good book can resist all sadness and confusion.
