Stories from the Past

About This Novel
In Chuanshan Village, Yu Xiaobao is an outsider. It is not accurate to say migrant households, because Yu Xiaobao is alone and does not have a home. No one knows how old Yu Xiaobao is. He looks only eighteen or nineteen years old. His skin is a bit dark and he smiles kindly, like a child. His hometown is in Jiangsu, and now that I think about it, it should be North Jiangsu. But in the hearts of us country people, there is no concept of "Southern Jiangsu" and "Northern Jiangsu". We always call Jiangsu people "Jiangsu Guys" and always associate "Jiangsu Guys" with beggars. In fact, we call all beggars "Jiangsu guys". The reason is inexplicable. There are probably a lot of beggars in a certain year, and the absolute majority of the beggars are from Jiangsu. Maybe there was a disaster somewhere in Jiangsu (most likely northern Jiangsu) that year, and they couldn't survive staying at home, so they went out in groups to beg.
