The Footprints in the Mountains and the Embrace in the Wind

About This Novel

In the autumn and winter of 1997, the life of Nannan, a girl from Zhaojia Village, was completely rewritten by her fate. In autumn, she still clutched her grandfather Zhao's hand and chased the sunset home, hoping that her father Zhao Daguo would bring back red fruit candies; when the winter snow suddenly fell, the wave of layoffs swept across. In order to support the family, Zhao Daguo embarked on the road to the Dongbian Village coal mine, but two months later, he was buried forever under the collapsed mine. The five thousand yuan compensation became the price tag of life and tore apart the family. Her mother Li Xiulan left with her brother Zhao Wuyuan, and her two-year-old daughter has been living with her elderly grandparents ever since. Lao Zhao gave up his addiction to smoking for half his life and supported his livelihood by growing tobacco and weaving willow baskets; his grandmother endured eye problems and protected her daughter as she learned to walk on the earthen kang. Nannan hid her longing, comforted her grandma with jokes about "body management", and secretly adopted a stray puppy "Yiyi" - this expectation of "dependence" has long been secretly guarded by her grandparents. From the adobe house in the village to the key high school in the county, and then to the university in the provincial capital, Nannan followed in her grandfather's footsteps and walked out of the mountains. A chance encounter in the hospital reunited her with her brother Zhao Wu, whom she had been searching for for many years, and her separated family members were finally reunited. When the family relied on each other in the sunshine of the provincial capital, lying at their feet, Lao Zhao looked into the distance and said, "It's time for the big country to rest assured." Those footprints covered by wind and snow, those persistence and love hidden in time, are like "dependence" in the wind, turning into warm light, making ordinary days always filled with the warmth of family affection.
