A Journey of Green and Yellow
Tags
Summary
This group of elderly people has created its own model of group elderly care, and after the trip ends they decide to take in these homeless young men. In the days that follow, the young people learn to get along with different elders, carefully look after their daily lives, teach them new ways of living, and help them solve the difficulties they encounter in life, clarify their inner feelings, fill their emotional needs, and achieve self-liberation. Besides giving the young people a place to live, the elderly do all they can to help them through a debt crisis, raise funds to start a business, and escape their predicaments.
The publication of this book lets readers feel the warmth and kindness between people, and instills the conviction that young and old can cast off prejudice, drop their disguises, tear down walls, and move forward hand in hand. It helps draw attention to the mental state and living circumstances of both young people and the elderly in the context of the new era.

About the author
Meng Chige is an author about whom little public information is available; the only work currently traceable is a social novel titled The Green-to-Yellow Journey. Judging from the title and its classification, the book points toward social realism, with the phrase “green to yellow” suggesting transition, continuity, and the conditions of survival, hinting that the novel may focus on how ordinary people navigate circumstance and choice amid social change. Because details of the author’s life, nationality, and dates of birth and death cannot be confirmed, the background and course of this writing remain difficult to outline, and readers can enter the author’s textual world only through this single work. On the available evidence, Meng Chige’s writing tends to present social experience in novel form, while the style and influence of the work still await further material and titles for verification.
