Eating Grass, Drinking Wine
«
No matter how far a person has wandered and how high one has reached, ultimately people cannot transcend the boundaries of emotions of the soul. Liyan Liu’s short autobiographical prose writes about her passion for the land she lives, her love for the people she cares from afar, and the pain of her loss with piercing, heart-felt, penetrating, and yet gentle words. Her writing reveals the journey and reincarnation of a soul from the East to West. It is a woman’s reenactment and affirmation of humanity, life, and their meaning.
