About This Novel
I had a glimpse of the living conditions of women in the mountains in that long-gone era. At the same time, I think about my life today. In our lives, material things are already quite abundant. The lifestyle is also very different from the past. Our lives are filled with studying, finding a job, falling in love, surfing the Internet, etc. We can't even pick up a bunch of colorful silk threads with our hands, let alone embroider a flower, a goldfish, a magpie climbing a plum blossom or a mandarin duck playing in the water. Not to mention willing to stay in a poor ravine, dedicating all his youth and life to a man, a family of young and old. In the mother's story, the simple and simple little daughter-in-law lived exactly like this and lived her whole life. Therefore, I feel that there is a kind of beauty missing in our lives today. A long-lost simplicity, straightforwardness, kindness and virtuousness.
