The author of "Border City" is Shen Congwen. "Border City" is a novella written by Shen Congwen**, first published in 1934.

In the 30s of the 20th century, the border town of Chadong at the junction of Sichuan and Hunan was used as the background, and the beautiful brushstrokes of both lyric poetry and essays depicted the unique customs of Xiangxi; borrowed the pure love story of Cuicui, a girl from the boat family, to show the kindness and beauty of human nature. Due to the aesthetic art of "Border City", "Border City" has a unique position in the history of modern Chinese literature.

Theme Appreciation:"Border City" entrusts Shen Congwen's aesthetic ideals of "beauty" and "love", and is the one that can best express the beauty of human nature in his works. The virtues that have been preserved in the traditional culture that "Border City" strives to praise are compared with the fact that the traditional virtues of modern society have been destroyed, and the shallowness, vulgarity, and corruption and degeneration of materialism and moneyism are everywhere.

Xiangxi, described in "Border City", has beautiful natural scenery and simple folk customs, people do not talk about rank, do not talk about utilitarianism, and treat each other sincerely and love each other. The grandfather's love for his granddaughter, Cuicui's innocent love for Cuicui, the sincere love of the Tianbao brothers for Cuicui, and the sincere brotherly love between brothers all represent the traditional virtues of unspoiled agricultural civilization.

This book describes the unique customs and customs of Xiangxi, and also borrows the pessimism of the love of Cuicui, a girl from the boat, highlighting the kindness, beauty and purity of human nature. In fact, there is also a metaphor in this book, the author of this book is to express the beauty of human nature by writing about the pure love between men and women, as well as the sincere love between grandparents and grandchildren, and the kindness and mutual love between neighbors.

The main content of this book is the pure love story of the girl Cuicui who borrowed the boat, on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, Cuicui, who was in love at the beginning of the year, met the two guys, and it was precisely because of this that Cuicui's youth sprouted admiration, but in front of the other party was very ashamed, and he did not dare to confess his feelings, and met the big guy Tianbao in Shunshun's house in the future.

The old boatman was sad when he saw that Cuicui's marriage was hopeless, coupled with overwork and haggardness, and finally said goodbye to the world on a stormy night. So Cuicui still waited on the ferry after her grandfather left, ferrying people all year round, and at the same time still waiting in her heart.

In fact, this book is not just a simple love between men and women, Cuicui and the young people she likes have neither a mountain alliance and a sea oath, nor a deviant and secular behavior. We can also find that the dialogue between the two people is completely free of copper-smelling money and power transactions, and there is only a primitive countryside nurtured between the two, and the natural relationship between men and women is a very pure friendship. This kind of relationship is like a flower in the sun, fresh and healthy, perhaps this is also a way for the director to imagine us to dismiss a way of interacting with men and women.
