About This Novel
There are many things in my grandmother's life that are hard to describe. These many difficult words have destined her and our family to go through countless setbacks and hardships. I was only two years old when the Cultural Revolution began, so those vigorous and turbulent scenes failed to leave any trace in my memory. All I know is that my grandmother's unexplainable deeds became unforgivable historical issues at that moment. With her multiple identities as a traitor landlord's wife, a bandit's wife, and a stinky capitalist's wife, she was deported to a place called Yanjiatai to undergo supervision and reform. It stands to reason that my parents and I would also be exiled there together. However, my mother is a very current woman. She did not hesitate to propose a divorce from my father, who was known as a son of a bitch. This resolute revolutionary action saved her from the disaster of being sent to the countryside for reform. Soon, she took me to marry a car mechanic whose wife had just died in childbirth.
