Reading recommendation of House by the Sea
The author of this book, Cao Wenxuan, included two short stories, A House by the Sea, The Night's Watch and 1 novella The Sun Comes Out. The tone of the story is bleak, and the author writes it naturally. It is a more emotional book. Cao Wenxuan's novels are a stream of love and a clarion call that stirs people's hearts. In fact, his seemingly meticulous writing has realized the mission of literature-to write people thoroughly and fully display their spiritual world. In his works, both ignorant teenagers and weather-beaten old people show perseverance in fighting against the fate and ugliness in the world. One-armed Boy, Green Dog, The Sun Comes Out, A Young Man, The White Fence and The Legend of the Trumpet are all Cao Wenxuan's best novels. The life scenes set in his works, the display of the inner world of the characters and the philosophy of life contained in his works will benefit young readers endlessly. What is commendable is that the aesthetic significance revealed by Cao Wenxuan's works is in line with the concept of "rigid reading" put forward by the Youth Department of China Light Industry Press. These novels not only bring unusual artistic feelings to young readers, but also give them a kind of spiritual agitation and life enlightenment. More importantly, they provide strong literary support for the improvement of spiritual world and personality on the road of growth! The binding design and exquisite illustrations of Cao Wenxuan's novel "Boutique House" also provide sufficient guarantee for young readers to read deeply, and bring more artistic associations to young readers. —— Wang Quangen
