About This Novel
On the winter solstice in the 21st year of the Republic of China, in a village called Mahong on the edge of the Central Plains, the daughter-in-law of Mr. He, an old wealthy man, gave birth to a boy with a round head and a round head. On the day when the boy was full moon, Boss He held a banquet in the ancestral hall. All ninety-nine households in the village, totaling 508 people, were invited. Before the banquet started, people lined up in a long queue, carrying various gifts in their arms, including dates, sausages, chickens and ducks, and more often tiger head hats and embroidered shoes. Elders who are related to the He family can gently touch the boy with their hands, and the rest draw a semicircular arc with their hands toward the sky in front of him, and then clasp their hands together to express blessings. In front of all the villagers, Mr. He gave the boy a nickname: "He Wukui" and asked his husband to write it into the family tree on the spot.
