THE AFTERGLOW OF SUNSET
Author: GAO HUAIFEI
Publisher: American Academic Press
ISBN: 1631818287
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
He was that naive boy like humble slope grass or a carefree little fish in the stream in the little mountain village which was isolated from the outside world of civilization then. Then he was suddenly brought into a curious city in the north of China by his father. Everything around him became a wonder and mystery. So he turned to be another silly boy who would like to sit alone by the city street to enjoy the passing automobiles. In a couple of years he learned to fend for himself while his father was out of town because of his work; a real home alone. During the following years of his growing-up, he also witnessed the breathtaking changes of his home nation as well as of his own life. For him happiness was actually ephemeral while emotional suffering had to be recuperated by the elapsing of time. This is what he learned from his experience: Never to be afraid of being shrouded in the darkness! He was always fascinated by the brilliant and mysterious clouds that were aflame in the sunset. Why? Because there would always be new hope beyond the afterglow of sunset.
