About This Novel
A bag of wheat seeds snatched from the Jingkang military disaster and a boat plank with the word "Song" picked up from the Caishiji River fire have become heirlooms for five generations of the Zhang family in Hebei, and they also connect the last 152 years of the Song Dynasty. The first generation fled south carrying broken spears and was used to the war in the north; the second generation hid in the reeds in the south of the Yangtze River and watched the fires of warships in Caishiji; the third generation guarded the fields that had been trampled by the defeated soldiers and relied on weaving to replace rice seeds; the fourth generation planted mulberry trees. They raised silkworms in exchange for salt and iron, and dug cellars to stockpile grain when Mongolia was wiped out. The fifth generation became an auxiliary soldier of the Song Army. They held an heirloom ship plank and witnessed the sea battle on Yashan Mountain. Finally, they buried the ship plank in the sand on the seaside and told their children, "This is our root." They are farmers who have never seen a court. Their whole life revolves around "survival" - planting again when their fields are destroyed, rebuilding when their homes are gone, and guarding their own land when the dynasty collapses. There were no achievements in fighting and iron horses, only days of alternating hoes and planks, but in porridge, rice, plowing and escaping, the bones and blood of the Song Dynasty became the roots of the family.
