Hometown and Far Away

This is a collection of essays, a collection of prose works by three authors. The three authors are Wei Tianjiao, Jin Ke, and Ren Qiliang. The three are class 78 students of the Chinese Department of Huaibei Coal Normal University (now Huaibei Normal University). Later, some taught in colleges and universities, and some were civil servants. Prose writing is the common interest of the three of them. For decades, they have worked tirelessly to communicate and inspire each other, and have made many achievements. This collection of essays shows that in the years of forging ahead, the three classmates sincerely described their own mental journey and emotional experience, as well as the vicissitudes of life, hometown feelings, motherland landscape, exotic customs, life perception, life meaning, etc. in prose. Due to the different experiences of the three authors and their prominence in their respective career fields, this collection of essays has become a different kind of chant with its own charm, colour and radiance, which is worthy of careful reading and appreciation by readers.
