As a writer of new rural novels, Ye Wei is a faithful watcher to the native soil. Starting from rural life experience, he aesthetically writes the world of a native soil centering on Mazhuang with a logical concept full of native soil originality. From his works, the Ground of Happiness, the Rich Mine and Houtu, we can appreciate the colorful rural life in the north of Jiangsu province and the south of Shandong province and rural people’s emotional entanglements. His three novels refect the confrontation of modern and rural civilization. The inter-weaving of passive acceptance and positive integration is embodying both the diversity and complexity of chang-ing rural civilization. On the basis of traditional narrative methods, he weeds through the old to bring forth the new to describe the change of a small countryside which presents his profound consideration to the tremendous change happening in Chinese rural areas.
