Postman of Buluo Town
The book is about A Luo, a teenager who tries to heal the rift between the town and the forest, and helps everyone there live a happy and peaceful life anew. It celebrates kindness, courage, and friendliness. The book’s idea of harmony between human beings and nature distinguishes it from other children’s books. As is said by the ‘Books of China’ Award committee, ‘the book is an earthy Chinese tale about A Luo, an orphan, whose kindness earns him the respect of the town people, who eventually becomes an excellent postman. When a crisis comes he helps the people out… The author derives much of his inspiration from real life, and wrote such an imaginative and warm story with artistic charms and emotion powers.’
