汪曾祺与高邮：回忆与深情交织的文学遗产

The notion that 'novels are memories' has given rise to the stories of the small town of Gaoyou and the literary legacy of Wang Zengqi. The 'Gaoyou stories' that are founded on memories are no longer a mere exercise in aesthetic recollection, but instead are imbued with Wang Zengqi's profound affection and attachment to his hometown of Gaoyou. Rooted in recollection, the 'Gaoyou stories' have become a testament to Wang Zengqi's deep emotional connection to his ancestral home, transcending mere aesthetic appreciation.
