In Return, the author describes incredible phenomena such as "identity error" and the dialogue between the living and the dead, which makes this novel about real life shrouded in mystery. In novels, reality is described as fantasy, and strange things are regarded as facts. The novel uses magical realism to produce a semi-real and semi-magical effect, which makes the story more fantastic and moving.
Appreciation of the novel Return:
The novel Return begins with an "inner monologue", which describes my psychological activities and mental state after I came to a deja vu mountain village, creating a mysterious atmosphere and arousing the reader's appetite. Restored the fragments of Ma Yanjing's life such as farming and hunting in the mountain village, eradicating the wicked, running night classes and teaching people to prick needles, and shaped Ma Yanjing into a kind, enthusiastic and righteous educated youth image.
The writing of the novel is relatively novel, with traces of western modernism such as stream of consciousness and magical realism. The novel is cleverly conceived, setting up two time and space intertwined with the past and the present: I look like a horse's glasses, and now I come to the mountain village, feeling delicate and real; Ma glasses, who looks like "I", have been to the mountain village, and the past is three-dimensional and rich.
