Description£º
In the Spring Festival of 2015, an article named A Doctoral Student¡¯s Homecoming Notes by Wang Leiguang had become an internet hit. Millions of people read it, thousands of people followed it to write their own homecoming stories happened during Spring Festival, a traditional family reunion festival in China. A new writing genre, homecoming literary form thus emerged. Behind the phenomenon are China¡¯s urbanization and its enormous influence. Fudun University Press invited Wang Leiguang to polish the article and explore more aspects of the influence, therefore the book Shouting in the Wind: A Doctoral Student¡¯s Homecoming Notes was released in January 2016. The book describes a variety of stories of new immigrants and left-behind peasants not only from the writer¡¯s perspective but also from their own narrative, including their dreams, housing, identity anxiety as well as existence crisis. These people are small potatoes in this era. For them, every step to a better living is hard, every shouting for a fairer environment is weak in the wind, hence this book is supposed to attract more attention on them.
