Four Happiness Return to Hometown
by Zhang Defu
About This Novel
Liu Sixi, a farmer from the northwest, went out to work and accidentally entered a black brick kiln in Shanxi. When he tried to escape, his foreman broke his leg. So he traveled thousands of miles and crawled back home with perseverance. Along the way, he saw all the changes in the world and the poverty of society. He was riding the "Hot Wheels", a wooden cart built for him by a kind heart, and accidentally met his first love who fled the village when he was young. He suffered a tragic car accident and was held hostage by ghosts. Three years of natural disasters that destroyed her family and her failed and humiliating love also came like a nightmare. A cuckoo from childhood has been following him, like an inescapable ghost, secretly watching his life. After returning home, he was greeted by the carnival of the whole village and the sudden bad news... As he wrote, he found that he and his hometown had long abandoned each other, unable to convert, and unable to truly escape. "I" appeared frequently in the text, just like the protagonist Sixi, struggling to find my spiritual home in the vast world.
