Life is Like a Journey Against the Odds

About This Novel
In "Life is like a journey against the odds", the author Wu Yunpu said that most of the time, the hidden pain and joy carried in our hearts are silent, only waiting for certain opportunities to awaken them, such as writing, interviews, tobacco and alcohol. Therefore, "Life is like a journey against the odds" tells the story of 16 hidden past events: Yang Xianhui, who wrote about all his sufferings, got drunk in the pub where he first met, and laughed silly when he didn't speak, making people confused: where did this old man who traveled in the mountains of the west all year round hide the painful imprint of history; "The hometown I miss day and night is also the place I most want to escape from." Yan Lianke's speech was full of Henan flavor. He told tiredly about his dream of escaping from the countryside when he was young. This is a huge change in China. It is only 30 years, but it seems that three centuries have passed; Guangzhou's black community, these friendly dark-skinned businessmen, come from Africa to Guangzhou, and come in and out of Tianxiu Building. They buy goods and make money here, and also marry wives and have children here... Even though they have never been accepted; What Xi Murong never forgets and even writes about repeatedly is the vast Mongolian grassland - a place she calls her "hometown". Half a century of wandering and traveling, in her opinion, is not worth the weight of a fallen leaf on the grassland; ... No one is sad or proud of the past, they are just worth remembering.
