A new novel, Xuanniaozhuan(the legend of Xuanniao) by Zhang Ning, has recently been published by Guangxi Normal University Press.

Xuanniao is a legendary bird from The Classic of Mountains and Seas who pursued an idealistic life and represented a spiritual freedom.

Starting in the 1980s, the novel tells the story of the well-educated protagonist Sun Luxi, who spent his life pursuing a pure and spiritual life. The novel vividly represents insistences and mirrors the fates of Chinese intellectuals throughout the stream of time.

In a time of fast development, people's material life continues to expand but the space for a spiritual life has been shrinking. The novel, interweaving the practical experience and free imagination, displays the protagonist's spiritual pursuit alongside his frustrations.
