About This Novel

From the rural boy who walked on the field ridges in Zhumadian in the southern plains of Henan and grew up under "stick education", to the regional director of a foreign company based in Shanghai and who dominates the area, to the Chinese medicine practitioner who was reborn in desperate circumstances and practiced medicine to save the world - this is not a fictional legend, this is a real journey of an ordinary Chinese person spanning half a century. The author Liji, with cold yet tender writing, records a period of our common memories of the times: childhood without electricity and the Internet, discipline intertwined with fists and storytelling, and youth growing barbarically. He seized every opportunity of reform and opening up and used knowledge to change his destiny. However, when he reached the top in middle age, he resolutely resigned and fell to the bottom of entrepreneurial failure. The illness of his relatives, the warmth and coldness of the hospital, and the fragility of life drove him to desperate situations time and time again. However, the real "indelible" is not the favor of fate, but the unquenchable flame of man in the mud. In the darkest moment, he chose "my fate is mine" and studied Chinese medicine with great determination. From a desperate patient to a certified doctor, he established his own diagnosis and treatment system and turned personal suffering into a light that illuminates others. This is not only the history of one person's struggle, but also the spiritual ambition of a generation. It is written to all those born in the 1970s and every ordinary person who have risen and fallen in the tide of the times and struggled in ordinary life: life may be ordinary, but the traces of hard work will never be erased.
