Wind and Fire Wall-New Book Recommendation

The famous writer Lin Nabei’s novel "The Wall of Wind and Fire" has been reprinted recently. This is a novel with a strong Fujian regional color, which tells a legendary story that happened in the Li family courtyard on the edge of Sanfang and Qixiang in Fuzhou in the 1930s. The quiet life of Li Zonglin, the head of the Li family, suddenly caused waves because of rumors that there was a bronze sword used by Gou Jian, the king of Yue, hidden in the courtyard of the Li family. The marriage of the son, the return of the second and third brothers are all closely related to the search for the sword …

The author tells a treasure-hunting legend with suspense, which is intertwined with Fujian’s strong historical and cultural atmosphere. These iconic cultural business cards, such as "three squares and seven lanes", "going up and down Hangzhou" and "Mawei Ship Administration", build the old Fuzhou City in the 1930s, and let readers enter the story of the intersection of family destiny and the times with the sound of clogs.

Three Lanes and Seven Alleys

Fire wall with wind

The houses on both sides are connected one by one, with white walls, thick and high walls and saddle-shaped ups and downs, which are not only for preventing thieves, but also for preventing wind and fire, so it has a very direct name in the local area, called "Wind and Fire Wall".

The creation of this book originated from a "rescue" twenty years ago. At that time, Lin Nabei was invited to complete the interview and creation of three lanes and seven lanes in Fuzhou historical and cultural block within 50 days. "The history of the three lanes and seven alleys in Fuzhou is very special. Every family is a big book." Lin Nabei said this at the sharing meeting.

Later, Lin Nabei was entrusted by the Fuzhou municipal government to create a novella "Wind and Fire Wall" about three lanes and seven lanes. "After writing this novella, I feel that there are still many possibilities in this novel that have not been released. In the process of finding a sword, the human nature is glued, and the energy and conflict are worth digging deep." Lin Nabei expanded the story of each character and added more than 100,000 words to complete the novel.

Talking about the regional cultural color in his works, Lin Nabei said: "A writer cannot leave the land and become a rootless person. For example, Mo Yan’s Gaomi and Su Tong’s Toona Street, writers give each other nutrition and strength in the process of creation. A piece of land gives a writer energy that he can’t use up all his life. "
