About This Novel

From the sound of the railway tracks being constructed on the third line of the Grand Third Line faintly transmitted into the valley, to the spring breeze of reform and opening up ruffling the ancient wells in mountain villages; from the wave of migrant workers sweeping away the young people in half of the village, to the footsteps of the fight against poverty knocking on every wooden door. The four generations of the Chen family adhere to the ancestral precepts, the ancient tea forest and the "Nerve Red" that seals the promise in the three altars. They make choices belonging to farmers at the crossroads of each era: Should they stick to the barren but familiar land, or embrace the unfamiliar waves outside the mountains? Mr. Chen's sky-gazing notes, Xiulan's sewing machine, Xiangyang's lesson plan, and live broadcast footage of the creek-these ordinary objects connect not only the joys and sorrows of a family, but also a miniature history of rural changes in China. When the ancient tea forest took on new life on the e-commerce platform, and when the exploration team's drawings finally pointed to an unexpected road, the people of Yantou Village finally understood: the so-called road to happiness never lies in escaping, but in planting deeply. The mountains are silent, but they have their own echo. Every journey away from home is ultimately for a better return; every wave of the times settles into new fertile soil on this land. This is a story about roots - no matter where the branches extend, real growth always starts from the soil under your feet.
