"The Message," continuing the author's aspiration to "strive to write every sentence of Chinese characters well," weaves together the natural world, history, folklore, and human nature with a legendary and fantastical imagination and a broad, panoramic view. Through evocative imagery and language, it narrates one life story after another, growing in the Qinling Mountains and across the Chinese landscape. The novel opens with the Yellow River's Jin-Shaan Grand Canyon, the mighty river setting the stage for the grand narrative. Using natural imagery and atmosphere—heaven and earth, living beings, ancient pagodas, trees, and rivers—it blends tradition and modernity, heaven and earth and human affairs, creating a vibrant, rich, and expressive contemporary "mountain dwelling picture."
