People from all over the world who live in Tongcheng can speak a few Henan accents and hum a few lines of Yu opera. The city is surrounded by mountains and dirt mounts. The mountain rocky soil thin, not suitable for farming, agricultural population is far less dense than the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, not to mention and overcrowded compared to the central plains.

The train station is located in the center of the city. A rectangular waiting room painted yellow, in this gray stained black city looks magnificent. Apart from the civilian and military airfield in the southern suburb, the station's small square is perhaps the most open place in the city.

The branch line from the Longhai Railway branch out, its last rail does not end in this station. This steel ladder and here forked out two shares, all the way uphill through the hole, along the way stringing up the east and west of more than twenty mining areas. When outsiders talk about Copper City, they know that it is a place where coal is produced, so they imagine that the city is probably full of coal. In fact, there are only one or two very small coal mines on the edge of Copper City, and the rest of the big mines are in those ravines on the east and west sides. When you turn down the railroad spur into these ravines, you will see what a huge world there is. Each of these coal mines, which are only about ten miles apart, has tens of thousands of workers who, along with their families, almost exceed the size of a mountain county. The dense population, the dense houses, the towering derricks, the rumbling machines, the clamor, simply makes one wonder how these tiny ravines and mountain bays can carry such a huge load.

11. "Alive" By:Yu Hua
The title of this work is "Alive", as a word, "alive" is full of power in our language, its power is not from shouting or attacking, but enduring, enduring the responsibility given to us by life, and enduring the happiness and hardship given to us by reality. It is the power to endure, to endure the responsibilities that life imposes on us, to endure the happiness and the suffering, the boredom and the mediocrity that reality gives us.

12. "Xu Sanguan's Story of Selling Blood" By Yu Hua
"Xu Sanguan's Story of Selling Blood" is a long novel written by Yu Hua in 1995, which depicts life in the midst of trials and tribulations with great warmth and expresses the desire to survive in the face of misfortune in the form of an intense story. The novel tells the story of Xu Sanguan, who sells his blood to tide over the difficulties in his life and overcome the shocking waves imposed by fate, but when he grows old and realizes that his blood is no longer wanted, he suffers a mental breakdown. In its review of Xu San Guan's Story of Selling Blood, the French magazine L'étude said: "This is a masterful novel, a perfect combination of simple simplicity and far-reaching connotations. Yu Hua is currently working on a full-length novel about a love story that spans a long period of time, and in terms of literary style, it will be a very different work from Xu San Guan's The Story of Selling Blood, which is due to be completed early next year. The book expresses the author's fascination with length, a road, a river, a rainbow after the rain, an endless memory, a folk song with no end, a person's life. All this is like a bundle of rope coiled up, slowly pulled out by the narrative, pulled to the end of the road. Here, the author sometimes has nothing to do. Because he realized from the beginning that fictional characters also have their own voices, and he thought he should respect these voices and let them find their own answers in the wind. So the author is no longer a narrative aggressor, but a listener, a patient, careful, understanding and empathetic listener. He tries to do this, and in his narration he tries to cancel out his role as author, feeling that he should be a reader. And so it was, and when the book was finished, he realized that he knew no more than anyone else. The characters often speak on their own, sometimes to the author's horror, and when the words come out of their fictional mouths in a way that is both appropriate and beautiful, the author suddenly feels inferior and thinks to himself, "I can't say such things." However, when he becomes a real reader, when he reads the works of others, he is often secretly pleased: "I have also said such things." This seems to be the joy of literature, that we need its influence to correct our thoughts and attitudes. It is interesting to note that while many great works influence an author, he finds that his own fictional characters influence him in the same way. The book is in fact a long folk song, its rhythm is the speed of memories, the melody jumps gently, the rests are hidden by the rhymes. The author here fictionalizes the history of only two people and tries to evoke the memories of many more. Matthias said: "Remembering the past is like living it again." Writing and reading are in fact both knocking on the door of memory, or both are trying to live again.
