Moonlight Shines on the Bed [Chinese]

By Jian Zheng

Chien Chen's classic "life story" essays pay tribute to the Yilan Plain, the land that nurtures life, and are written in a style closest to one's mother tongue. They recapture the cleverness and joy of a child's innocent voice. Now, I'm older than my grandmother, who appears in most of the chapters. Upon rereading, the quick-witted, argumentative, and sometimes mischievous little devil from the book seems to reappear, making a "whooping" sound in his wooden clogs as he chases chickens across the threshing floor... From the mundane details of daily life to human relationships, she captures a vanished space of life, re-experiencing the times, people, fields, and rivers of her memories: picking ferns, gathering flowers, chasing chickens, collecting stones.
