How beautiful is the Border Town in Shen Congwen's writing?

In the 1930s, the famous writer Shen Congwen's novel 'Border Town' was published. The novel, set in the border town of Chadian, tells a pure and poignant love story, while also presenting to readers a Chadian like a pastoral song, pushing the border town Chadian, and even the entire Xiangxi to the world. Shen Congwen wrote in 'Border Town': 'The place of Chadian is built by the water and the mountains. On the side near the mountains, the city wall is like a long snake, climbing along the mountains. On the side facing the water, a dock is set up outside the city by the river, where small tents are moored... There is a river street running through all the docks, where most of the houses are half on land and half on water. Because of the limited space, all these houses have stilted buildings.' Shen Congwen's 'Border Town' is as beautiful as a landscape painting, reading it makes people feel as if they have entered the Peach Blossom Spring.
