【Content Introduction】
"It's Snowing in My World," part of Chi Zijian's prose series, includes 58 of her finest essays, including "New Year Pictures and Crickets," "Smoke in the Dusk," and "The Singing Stove." These essays express nostalgia for hometown customs, recollections of childhood anecdotes, feelings of natural beauty, a taste for northern cuisine, and lamentations about the ways of the world. The writing is unpretentious and gentle, delicate without being flowery, and lively without being contrived. It captures the vivid panorama of the northern landscape of white mountains and black waters, and the delicate and subtle inner world of the author.
As a novelist, Chi Zijian has also achieved remarkable success in her prose, her writings imbued with deep affection, yet powerful and heartwarming. In her own words, "True warmth arises from desolation and suffering! Being able to pick up this warmth in this glitz and glamour of the world makes me feel that life is still vibrant."
【Celebrity Recommendation】
Her works have a broad sentiment.
When Mo Yan reads Zhang Ailing, it's a bright, sharp silver-pink, dazzling and luxurious, yet punctuated by patches of dull, flaking ochre. When I read Chi Zijian, I always see shimmering white snow, green grass, and a shimmering crimson. Whether she's writing about childhood or the city of today, these colors linger between the lines like mist.
—Bi Shumin Perhaps no other writer has managed to maintain the same unchanging beauty as Chi Zijian, who has endured for over twenty years, maintaining a steady rhythm, a steady aesthetic, and a luminous literary quality. Every spring, we can no longer hear the distant melting of ice and snow on the Heilongjiang River, but we can always hear Chi Zijian's footsteps.
