Blue Velvet Dust
About This Novel
In 1999, a wind called "wealth" blew the Cheng brothers from Sichuan to Guangzhou. In Xintang's denim factory, there is always a kind of blue velvet dust floating in the air. It clings to the workers' lungs and is embedded in their fate. As a typical Chinese-style "internal friction" family, everyone in the Cheng family is struggling in the blue ocean of the times and dragging each other down. Daughter Cheng Zhizhi decided to completely wash off the "blue" from her body. Her "spiritual severance" was not a simple escape, but a determination to explore the possibility of a new type of family relationship after the mess. This is a tragic journey about how we change from "sons and daughters of the soil" to "workers in the factory" and finally become "ourselves". The ups and downs of the Cheng family over the past thirty years are the epitome of my country's transition from rural society to industrial civilization. This is not only a history of family struggle, but also a profound epic of a generation pursuing individual dignity in the wave of the times, from fragmentation to reconstruction.
