About This Novel
A quality reader for young people, one of the top 50 Chinese novels. Most of author Zeng Ying's novels involve migrant workers, laid-off workers and the poor and helpless vulnerable groups in urban and rural areas. He used his own pen to go against the mainstream, establish monuments and biographies for small people, and left behind many popular artistic images. This book is the product of the author spending several years staying in a migrant workers' village, visiting schools for the children of migrant workers, and eating, sleeping, and sharing joys and sorrows with the migrant workers who returned home in the train station hall. It records the sadness and hope of all kinds of people in the transition period of the current era, and experiences their ups and downs. In the author's own words: The reason why I want to write about them is, firstly, that too many such people and things around me fill my eyes and heart; secondly, I have a competitive mentality - in this society where obesity is common, literature continues to stay away from the suffering groups who need the most attention, and focuses on the wavy pink life on the mandarin duck pillow. The disadvantaged groups are increasingly ignored by mainstream culture and media.
