Wan Ning's recent book Lying on the Mountain and Watching the Stars focuses on the three-dimensional life track of Lin Lan, who was transferred from a female teacher to a deputy county chief in recent years under the background of “targeted poverty alleviation” and “open two-child policy”. The novel has a lofty conception and a lively style of writing. Through the collision of the sharp touch of the times and the distinct sense of responsibility, the novel organically integrates the fresh literary narration and the wise philosophy, melts the humor into the slightly sharp criticism of the current disadvantages, and successfully creates many three-dimensional characters with mission and responsibility, which well embodies the literary pursuit of taste, style and responsibility of the new era.
