A village is a unique type of"place"because of its long history,its close connection with nature and its distinctive cultural forms.However,the impacts of modernization and globalization continue to erode the original emotional and cultural connotations of villages,and in extreme cases,it has even been reduced to a space that is only functional but lacks cultural depth.This is not only a predicament for villages but also a microcosm of the global"place"crisis.Roman Senchin,a new-generation writer of Russian"village prose",portrays in Flood Zone the devastating destruction of countless Siberian villages due to the construction of a hydroelectric power station.His work highlights the invaluable significance of"place"as both a physical and spiritual home.Through the depiction of ecological,social,and cultural crises in rural areas and the struggles and efforts of"place"guardians,the novel profoundly underscores the indispensability of a"sense of place".The voices of the characters and the author's creative practice together suggest the possibility of reconstructing a"sense of place"through literary imagination,providing a reference for the search for the future of"place"amidst the trend of"non-place".The distinctive idea of"place"in the novel serves as a profound cultural response to contemporary material and spiritual ecological crises,providing valuable literary inspiration for the reconstruction of national"sense of place"and the pursuit of sustainable human development.
