Chapter 27 postscript

When a work is published, the author's joy should be self-evident.What's more, this is a work that condenses a lot of the author's painstaking efforts and emotions, and it has been three years since she came to the world. Three years ago, when the commodity economy swept across the vast land of rural China like a wave, I wrote this work with full of enthusiasm.At that time, I never thought that the tide of the commodity economy also caused this work and the author himself to undergo turbulent shocks: several times of excitement, several times of despair, several times of joy and favor, and several times of near death.

This tide, and its impact, has now become my fortune.Because it was it that taught me how to look at literature and the world anew. Just as all works are the brainchild of the author, they are the result of my three years of labor. But it does not only belong to me alone, it also belongs to the people of my dear hometown who have created the miracle of life. I sincerely thank the land and era that gave birth to this work, and I sincerely thank the editors who have worked hard for its birth. Comrade Huangmei is a famous senior writer, critic and leader of the literary and art circles in our country. His preface adds luster to the work.Li Duo, a famous calligrapher, wrote the title of this book, and I would like to express my gratitude here.

I would also like to extend my greetings to the readers and friends of this work.I want to say: I look forward to your love and help. Author May 1989
