The Scenery of the Lake an…

《湖光山色》通过楚暖暖和旷田从贫穷到富裕的经历讲述了一个关于人类欲望的寓言。 小说以曾城工的乡村女青年楚暖暖为主人公，讲述了她回到家乡楚王庄之后不断拓取、而带领全村创业的故事。暖暖是一个“公主”式的乡村姑娘，她几乎是楚王庄所有男青年的共同梦想。村主任詹石磴的弟弟詹石梯自认为暖暖非他莫属，但暖暖却以决绝的方式嫁给了贫穷的青年旷田，并因此与横行乡里的村主任詹石磴结下仇怨。从此，这个见过世面、性格倔强、心气甚高的女性，始了她漫长艰辛的人生道路...... 小说结构严密，充满悲情和暖意，作家以他对中国乡村生活的独特理解，既书写了当代中国乡村表层生活的巨大变迁和当代气息，同时也发现了当代乡村中国深层结构的坚固和蜕变的艰难。 The fateful story begins with Nuannuan, the youthful villager called home from the city to care for her mother. Upon her return, Nuannuan forges ahead with plans to invigorate the rural village with new enterprises and business. As the sublime image of a woman in the eyes of the village men, village chief Zhan Shideng plans to marry Nuannuan to his younger brother, however, her refusal and subsequent elopement with the desperately poor young man Kuang Kaitian brings on the full wrath of the rampant chief. Worldly, resilient and spirited, Nuannuan must contend with those that transpire around her as she marches on to the beat of her own drum. A tragic tale not without warmth, the author provides unique perspectives on rural life in China, at once scratching into the surface layers of the monumental changes brought by modernity, and then taking us deep into the core structure of a village governed by stiff tradition and the ardours of change.
