The
Soul Flew South Like a Bird
Written by
Hans Christian Andersen Award winner
Cao Wenxuan and recommended by Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan.
He made a promise to his soul to go south together.
He walks slowly, but his soul walks very fast.
He has too many things that he can't bear to part with: taverns, hot springs, stoves, roast lamb...
In the end, can they reach the place of their dreams?
A story with profound meaning allows children to set goals and maintain self-discipline, and also allows adults to examine themselves.
