by Mo Mingyi
About This Novel
The wind is unpredictable and people are unpredictable. Life is like duckweed, gathering and scattering in the vast distance. This is a story about the wandering duckweed. Since China implemented reform and opening up in 1978, the times have developed rapidly and policies have been updated day by day. Family planning, compulsory education, the Asian Games, the development and changes of the Internet, SARS, medical reform, high housing prices, the Olympics, the Chinese Dream, the second child liberalization, COVID-19, etc., Have profoundly affected the lives of ordinary people and undergone earth-shaking changes. In 1980, when the family planning policy was implemented, a fourth child was born to a rural family in a remote suburb of Beijing. Because she was a girl, she was given to a family that had not had children for many years. Because of the girl's arrival, this family had two biological sons of their own. Through the perspective of the rural heroine who was abandoned since childhood, it depicts the story of the family warmth and hard work of ordinary people in rural China, and describes the heroine's mental journey and the story of finding a home and happiness in wandering. In the end, the heroine experienced the hardships of life, constantly healed herself from childhood injuries during the trip, and finally realized her childhood dream of traveling around the world, found her spiritual destination, and owned her own house through her own efforts. I feel relieved in my heart why I don't have what others have from birth, because if there is no wandering in life, if there is no searching, there will be no wonderful stories. There is no such thing as a vigorous life, isn't the life of ordinary people like this? Duckweed also blooms because it has found its own destination, its own home.
