About This Novel
Houyao Village is a microcosm of the special historical period in Chinese rural areas. Wan Shengshou, the barefoot doctor at Houyao Medical Station, fell ill, leaving Houyao Village without its own doctor. Who can take over? Wan Quanhe. But why should this Wan Quanhe take over? Has he studied medicine? No. But he is the son of Wanshou. If he doesn't want to be a doctor, why should Huai Lai become one? In this poor and backward Houyao Village, if he was not a doctor, would he still be able to care about the farmers' diseases? The author uses a daily narrative style, uses restrained humor, and uses trivial daily life to build a spiritual world. He uses a warm attitude to care about the relationship between people, society, and diseases. He depicts the image of a rural barefoot doctor, thus showing the roots of China's countryside, deeply expressing his concern for the living conditions of people in Chinese rural society, and depicting the protagonist's true inner world in a plain and ordinary way.
