What's the important information about the border town? Please!

The short story Border Town was written by the famous writer Shen Congwen on 1933. This "Border Town" floats around Mr. Shen Congwen's Xiangxi amorous feelings most strongly. Border Town is an excellent novella (Shen Congwen's masterpiece) in the history of China literature. Based on the tea cave in the border town of Sichuan and Hunan in the 1930s, it depicts the unique customs of the Xiangxi border region with beautiful strokes of lyric poetry and prose. The love tragedy of Cui Cui, a boatman girl, highlights the goodness and beauty of human nature and the clarity and purity of the soul. "Border Town" is set in the Chadian area of western Hunan in the late Qing Dynasty, with the "Xiaoxi" ferry as the starting point, and the stream flowing around the cave flows into the Chadian River, and begins a touching love story between Cui Cui, a girl at the wilderness ferry, and Tianbao and Nuosong brothers in Shancheng River Street. With extremely beautiful and fluent language and picturesque writing, Mr. Shen Congwen described the quiet and beautiful mountain village along the Baihe River and the rich customs of Xiangxi border town: "Those who are close to the water are mostly in peach blossoms and apricot blossoms. As long as you pay attention in spring, there will be people where there are peach blossoms, and you can sell wine where there are people. In summer, dazzling purple cloth and trousers are dried in the sun and can be used as flags of others. When autumn and winter come, houses near cliffs and watersides abound. Yellow walls, black tiles ... ". These descriptions are full of natural simplicity and vivid interest, giving people a very beautiful enjoyment. As the story unfolds, Border Town describes the prosperous and peaceful dock market in Hejie Street, the simple world and folk customs in western Hunan. Although there is an "old general yamen stationed in a battalion" and a local "Lijin Bureau (tax collection)" in Hejie Street, it does not seem to exist. Everywhere is the "Five Hundred Houses" with busy work, quaint shops and leisurely life scenes. "When the boat came, I looked at countless trackers from a distance on the beach ... I brought snacks and foreign sugar, but when I landed, I took it into the city to change money. Adults, brooding a nest of chickens, raising two pigs, telling the boatman to wear a pair of gold earrings, bringing back two zhangs of green cloth or an altar of good soy sauce and a double Mobil lampshade, take up more than half of the hearts of housewives. "On the river street, even prostitutes are impressed by the world." Always full of energy ... try to tie your heart tightly to a distant person. When dreaming, I always dream that the ship is approaching the shore, and a person staggered to the shore from the springboard and ran straight to this side. "These objective and vivid descriptions reflect the profound foundation of Mr. Shen's life in Fenghuang County. His delicate observation of the life of River Street, his familiarity with Xiangxi folk customs, and his close-up of intuition and reverie seized the wonderful moment and gave people vivid life scenes. " River Street is full of people living at the bottom, such as "trackers", "boatmen" and "prostitutes", but as an outstanding writer of the "new culture" of that year, it may be for the love theme, not to mention class opposition or social contradictions. Although we only understand the distant Xiangxi era from the text, we may not really understand what kind of social environment it is, but Border Town is described by Mr. Shen as a modern "Peach Blossom Garden" similar to that written by Tao Yuanming, isolated from the outside world at that time, from which it is not difficult to see Mr. Shen Congwen's yearning and pursuit for a harmonious and beautiful society. Cui Cui, the heroine ferry girl in Border Town, is the embodiment of purity and beauty and the beautiful soul of Border Town. Grandpa the old boatman is a simple but stubborn old man. He is confident and proud of the beauty of Cui Cui. In order to marry a good family for Cui Cui, he ignored the poverty of his position, and his inner worries and responsibilities were intertwined. Shunshun, a former exiled official of Qing Dynasty, managed wooden boats, had a certain savings, and his career was booming. Because of generosity and loyalty, he is known as a heroic gentleman on the side of "Zhangshui Wharf". His two sons "Da Lao" and "Raul" were educated by their father's Jianghu manners, and they were beaten and tempered in the waves, and they all became smart and handsome teenagers of the Jianghu "Yue Yun" style. After crossing the river or catching ducks, the two brothers fell in love with Cui Cui at first sight and fell in love with the beautiful Cui Cui. The second old man told Cui Cui that he would rather have a broken ferry than Tianbao, the predecessor of the New Mill, who never gave up the pursuit of beauty in the chaotic road and road, and refused to go with Cui Cui. After getting to know each other, the two persistent brothers stood on the cliff in the moonlight and sang "Three Years and Six Months" for Cui Cui. Border Town is a love tragedy. It seems that the words are carefully chosen, but in fact the pen and ink are faint and dignified. Her touching is the beauty of love tragedy. Mr. Shen's delicate and youthful life vividly depicts a girl's shyness, trance and indifference, representing the hazy change of her mind. It is a tragedy that Cui Cui, who has never had a mother's love and has never been involved in the world as a woman, is at a loss in the face of infatuation, burying herself again and again, avoiding shirking, and finally waiting in depression. On the cliff, Tianbao and Nuonuo can no longer hear the folk songs that send their brothers to the moonlit night. Tianbao drowned in the whirlpool. In addition to his sadness, Nuo refused to accept the urging of the "new mill" at home and went to the distant "Taoyuan" land. At this heartbreaking moment, after Grandpa ate "a stuffy fist" at the water pier, the White Pagoda in Bixi Village finally collapsed on that night of heavy rain and thunder. The only relative of Cui Cui, an old boatman who worked hard all his life, died in his sleep in anxiety and expectation. In the narrative of Yang and others, I understand everything. She cried all night, but the years like songs flowed away like a white river. The end of Border Town is also very tragic and profound, with a deep artistic conception: "In winter, the collapsed white tower was repaired again. However, the young man who sang under the moon and made Cui Cui's soul float gently in his sleep did not return to the tea cave. "..............." This person may never come back, maybe "tomorrow"! "Mr. Shen's exquisite poetic embellishment has left a long regret and infinite anxiety and expectation.
