This little collection brings together Zhu Ziqing's most famous prose pieces. In “The Sight of Father's Back”, a clumsy father crosses the tracks at a station to buy oranges for his son. Elsewhere, the author walks at night around a lotus pond under the moon, or glides in a boat along the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.
Studied in every school in China, these texts have made this father seen from behind one of the most moving memories in Chinese literature.
Short, tender and very musical, they can be read one by one, at your own pace, in the language you are learning.
