Growing Up
by Wang Hailu
About This Novel
Young Peng Fei is stubborn and rebellious. His father Peng Xiangjiang is the chief of staff of the Air Force Airborne Division. His mother Haiyun gave up her diplomat ideal for the sake of the family and devoted all her efforts to her son's growth. Young Peng Fei's high score of 678 originally made his mother Hai Yun very happy. Just as mother and son were discussing whether to apply for Tsinghua University or Peking University, Peng Fei, out of anger with his father, who had always been estranged from him, signed up for the Air Force recruitment and was admitted regardless of his family's objections. From then on, he resolutely embarked on the arduous and rugged road of growth from student to soldier, and from soldier to pilot. In the devilish training of the flight academy, the young Peng Fei experienced the harsh military training and the ruthless and strict pilot elimination system... After becoming a golden military aviation pilot, Peng Fei met, fell in love and married with An Ye, a journalist who yearned to become China's Farage. However, when romantic love turned into the reality of trivial marriage life, conflicts ensued. Before the marriage, An Ye was mentally prepared and unwavering in her resolve. Only when she was in the situation did she know that what she really needed to deal with was not the overwhelming force of the mountain, but the daily repeated trivial wear and tear like drops of water piercing the stone. How do two people with busy careers take care of their families? Should career give way to marriage? How should men and women divide their labor in the family? What kind of choices will the characters in the novel make under the conflict and collision of different views on love, life, and values? The work focuses on Peng Fei's pursuit of ideals and persistence in love, focusing on two generations of a family, including the sacrifice of family and career, the generation gap between father and son, the estrangement between husband and wife, and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In "Growing Up", it is not only children who need to grow up, but also adults!
