Sisters
About This Novel
"Sisters" is a novel written by Zhu Mo. Tao Jiang and Tao Ran are sisters. They are eight years apart and have very different personalities. The year their parents divorced, their lives had different foreshadowings. Whether to stay in your hometown or go to a big city, whether to get married early and have children or work hard for your career, whether to swallow your anger and take care of your family or be unruly and be yourself, whether to enjoy a sweet bond or pursue the freedom of loneliness... The dilemmas that women always encounter in life are also the issues faced by the Tao sisters. The two sisters chose different directions at every stage of their lives, and therefore lived completely different lives, each with its own scenery and its own price. They misunderstood each other and quarreled, but they never gave up on each other. The dozens of emails they exchanged were the mark of their growth and allowed them to finally understand each other's choices and re-understand the meaning of home. The experiences described by the two sisters in the first person are also the real lives of ordinary women. The psychological distortion caused by the preference for sons over daughters is passed on between generations, turning women from victims to perpetrators; independent single women, although successful in their careers, still face pressure from family and society in marriage and love... The author does not stop at describing reality, but seeks to transcend. The years-long correspondence between the sisters allows readers to see that there is not only jealousy and secret wrestling between women, but also firm support and protection, and more importantly - mutual understanding.

I just read the first few chapters and I can't stand it anymore! This sister is too mean! The whole family, including her husband, doesn't love her, yet she still wants to get married. Could it be that she can't get married? So mean, I have never seen such a mean woman!
Once upon a time, I would have encountered experiences and emotions similar to those of the sisters in the book. The expressions at that time could not be as calm and rational as in the book, but I was young and ignorant, but I was more sincere. The blood relationship has become new with the passage of time. We can appreciate the sincerity and love at that time. That is enough.
Relationships between people need to be managed, otherwise they will slowly become cold, and if you don't contact them, they will become strangers in the end, and you won't know what to say when you meet them.
Writing letters is actually a very happy thing. You can say anything you are embarrassed to say in the letter. Compared with money and the city, Tao Ran cares more about feelings.
Having a child is a very important thing. Falling in love and getting married are relatively free, but having a child is different. You need to be responsible for the child's life.
