Jin Yucheng's new book brings back memories of educated youth in the countryside, Yang Yang reports.
Jin Yucheng, who won the Mao Dun Literature Award for his novel Fan Hua (Blossoms) in 2015, is known for his impressive memory, his fantastic stories and his ability to recount them in vivid detail.
"But one could say that literature serves to record useless details," Jin, 66, tells literary critic Gu Wenhao during a chat at the Shanghai Book Fair.
