In the eyes of writers such as Yu Hua, Su Tong, Xi Chuan, Cheng Yongxin, and Zhu Yong, prose is not only a combination of words, but also a dialogue between the writer and the world, a touch of the soul, and an emotional sustenance.The charm of prose lies in its ability to reach people's hearts directly, allowing us to feel the breadth of the world and the depth of life between the lines.

In a literary exchange program, Yu Hua, Su Tong, Cheng Yongxin and others not only shared their understanding of prose, but also recommended many foreign classic prose works, such as García Márquez's - The Magical Caribbean -, RolandBarthes's - Eiffel Tower -, Walter Benjamin's - Proust's image - etc.These works are all the result of writers' careful dialogue with the world. With their unique perspectives and profound insights, they allow us to see various aspects of life in different cultures and regions.

When talking about good prose works, Yu Hua and Su Tong both mentioned one word invariably - "sense of surprise".This sense of surprise is the charm of prose.It may come from a sentence, a scene, or an emotion, which suddenly touches our hearts and makes us moved.This emotional resonance is why prose works can transcend time, space, culture, and language and create a deep connection with readers.

In another part of the program, Xi Chuan visited the Linghe Poetry Society of Lingshui County and chatted about poetry and recitation with a group of young people who love poetry.Here, poetry and prose are intertwined, and emotions and ideals collide.Nishikawa shared his understanding of poetry with young people and felt their poetic life.This kind of interaction with young people not only allowed Xi Chuan to feel the vitality and inheritance of poetry, but also allowed the audience to see the close connection between prose and poetry.
