Nuo Nuo face after reading

"Nuo face" is a novel by Xiao Jianghong. There are three novels in it, respectively, "compulsion town", "Nuo opera", "hanging coffin". Just look at the name I feel magical, I have been receiving socialist core values inculcated for many years, these feel like the last century. But my curiosity still let me read on.

The three stories are actually interconnected, telling the story of three villages along the Cat Jump River in the mountains of Guizhou. Three villages compulsion town, Nuo village, Swallow Gorge represent three important traditional cultural heritage in Guizhou - compulsion, Nuo opera and hanging coffins. This novel is written quite magical reality, feel the style and Shen Congwen's siege a little like. Let me y appreciate that can not, I can only appreciate from the words between the lines of the unique cultural and folk landscape of Guizhou borderlands and the collapse of tradition in the process of the world.

A small village, nurtured generation after generation, generation has a generation of creation, the old generation of things no one inherited, the natural demise. Young people go out to work, only the old and sick stay in the village. This reminds me of the empty nesters and left-behind children nowadays. Not only is there no inheritance of culture, but there is also emotional emptiness. However, the book said, mankind is like this, a journey forward, the death of the end to pass away.
