Lee Family

About This Novel
The novel "The Li Family" can be called the masterpiece of writer Li Peifu. The writer extends his brushwork to the distant past of the plain countryside. In the form of the "nonsense" told by the seventh grandmother in Dali Zhuang Village, the author gives a panoramic and three-dimensional narration of the rise and fall of a family's reproduction and development, as well as the ups and downs of different generations. In the history of this family, there have been all kinds of characters: there was a man who broke into the imperial city and complained to the emperor; there was a shady, shrewd and capable young lady; there was a new champion who studied hard for three years and became famous in one fell swoop; there was also a leader of a beggar gang who had a fortune of tens of millions and controlled the thirteen counties of Kyushu... As With the development of the times and the changes in society, the descendants of the Li family living in the tide of reform include mayors who have prospered, managers who are unkind to get rich, lovers who are drunk and dreaming of life, and wives who have divorced and never returned... The writer has created many characters with flesh and blood, ready to be revealed; good and evil, loyal and traitorous, success and failure, rich and poor, each has its own destiny. The strong contrast between history and reality, as well as the ups and downs of the fate of characters, constitute a magnificent picture of life.

My Li family is really in trouble. Many passages in the play are similar to what my grandma told me when I was a child. Much like our family history.
My little toe, my dad's and my uncle's do have double nails, which is different from other people's. Like some kind of hereditary disease. Is this really the mark of your family? ?
After reading this book, my back felt chilly. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
