Wencheng [Chinese]

By Yu Hua

This book tells a story set in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. It was a wild and untamed era, and the turbulent life stories of its inhabitants reveal the tragedy of warlord conflicts and rampant banditry, highlighting the fragility and resilience of life...

Even after becoming the owner of the woodworking shop, his humility and silence remained unchanged. He didn't originally belong to Xizhen; his hometown was in the far north. Driven by a promise, he and his daughter drifted here. In the days that followed, he witnessed both warm, sincere hearts and cold, ruthless bloodshed. Ultimately, he died far from home, but the concern and tears of many remained with him...
